Steps

  1. Prep and cook potatoes Preheat oven to 230°C. Cut potatoes into 0.5cm rounds and toss on a lined oven tray with first measure of Mexican blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Season and roast for about 25 minutes, until golden and tender. Turn once during cooking.
  2. Prep Mexican beans Finely dice onion; dice both measures of capsicum 1cm, then set aside separately; drain and rinse kidney beans.
  3. Cook beans Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium, oven-proof fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion, first measure of capsicum and garlic for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Add remaining Mexican blend and cook for about 2 minutes. Add beans, canned tomatoes, chipotle sauce and 1 tsp salt and bring to a simmer. Leave mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, until reduced slightly.
  4. Prep salsa Slice tomatoes, then thinly shred lettuce. Toss in a medium bowl with second measure of capsicum, lemon and a drizzle of olive oil. Season and set aside.
  5. Grill potatoes When potatoes have finished cooking, remove from oven and switch to high grill. If you don’t have an oven-proof fry-pan, you can transfer the bean mixture into a baking dish. Grate cheese and sprinkle over bean mixture. Grill for 3-4 minutes, until cheese is golden and melted.
  6. Serve Mexican beans in bowls with potato dippers on the side, then top with salsa, sour cream, coriander and pepitas.
