Ingredients
Filling Prep
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion
- 3 mixed peppers
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 red or green chilli
Tomato sauce
- 500 g passata
- ½ tbsp caster sugar
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp sea salt
Final mix
- ½ tsp thyme
- Freshly ground black pepper lots
- 240 g frozen spinach
- 800 g black beans 2 tins
- 1 juice from lime
- 1 small bunch coriander
- 100 g mature cheddar
- 6 wholemeal wraps
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/Gas 6 and lightly grease a medium rectangular baking dish with a little olive oil.
- Heat a large, deep-sided sauté pan or casserole until hot, add half of the olive oil and the finely diced red onions and saute over a high heat for 5 minutes until just beginning to soften. Add the diced mixed peppers, crushed garlic and finely chopped chillies and stir well, then reduce the heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes until just softened, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. Pour the passata into a medium saucepan, add the remaining olive oil, the sugar, onion powder, ground coriander, ground cumin and the salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When the peppers have cooked for 10 minutes, add the thyme and plenty of black pepper, then stir in the frozen spinach and the drained beans.
- Cover with a lid again and cook for 5 minutes, or until the spinach and beans are hot through.
- Remove both pans from the heat and add a quarter of the tomato sauce to the bean pan, then mix well. Add the lime juice, half of the chopped coriander and a third of the grated cheese and stir in, ensuring they go all the way through the mixture.
- Lay out the wraps on a clean work surface, then divide the bean mixture evenly among the wraps, spooning it down the middle of each one, top to bottom.
- Spoon a little of the remaining tomato sauce into the baking dish, just enough to cover the base.
- Roll up each of the enchiladas – fold the left hand side over the filling, then fold the right hand side over that. Lay them, seam down, into the baking dish
- Spoon the remaining tomato sauce evenly over the top, then sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Place into the oven to bake for 10-15 mins to golden and bubbling
- Remove from the oven, scatter the remaining chopped coriander over the top and serve
