Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Zest the lime. Squeeze half and cut the rest into wedges.
  • Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
  • In a small bowl mix the creme fraiche together with the lime zest. 
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Simmer the Sauce
2
  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When the oil is hot, add the chopped tomato, Mexican spice mix and chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice).
  • Stir to combine then leave to simmer until thickened and slightly sticky, 6-8 mins.
Add the Beans
3
  • Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a sieve.
  • Add the beans to the pot along with the lime juice and half the coriander.
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
Bake Until Bubbling
4
  • Pop the beans into an oven dish.
  • Scatter the grated cheese evenly over the top. 
  • Bake for 8-10 mins, until the cheese has melted and is bubbling.
Make the Chips
5
  • Meanwhile, cut each tortilla into quarters to create even-sized triangles (use scissors if you like).
  • Lay out on a baking tray in a single layer (use two trays if necessary).
  • Bake in the oven for 6-8 mins, until crispy and golden.

TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.

Finish and Serve
6
  • When ready, share the baked tortilla chips between plates.
  • Top with a serving of cheesy beans and a sprinkling of the remaining coriander.
  • Finish with a dollop of the zesty creme fraiche.
  • Serve lime wedges alongside.
