Recipe Box: Vegetarian Tortilla Lasagne!


I adore Mexican food and I could eat lasagne forever so why not combine the two? Sound crazy? It's not as insane as it sounds, I promise! It's actually super tasty :)

Introducing the Tortilla Lasagne...




Want to make this beast? Just follow the instructions below :) It serves between two and four depending on just how hungry you are!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil.
  • 1 onion, finely chopped.
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped.
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped.
  • 1 tsp ground cumin.
  • 1 tbsp dried coriander. 
  • 780g pinto beans, drained.
  • 400g chopped tomatoes.
  • 250ml vegetable stock. 
  • 1 bunch spring onions, sliced.
  • 325g tin of sweetcorn, drained.
  • 4 flour tortilla wraps. 
  • 100g cheese.

To the kitchen!

  • Preheat the oven to 200oC.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion until soft for about 5 minutes.
  • Mix in three-quarters of the chilli as well as the garlic, cumin and coriander and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the drained pinto beans, the chopped tomatoes and the vegetable stock.
  • Simmer for ten minutes until the majority of the stock has evaporated.
  • Add in three-quarters of both the sweetcorn and the spring onions. 
  • Place a tortilla wrap in the base of a round cake tin.
  • Spoon in a quarter of the bean mixture, sprinkle over a quarter of the cheese and place another wrap on top of this.
  • Again, spoon another quarter of the bean mixture and cheese and place another tortilla wrap on top. Repeat twice so you end up with the last of the beans and cheese on top of the fourth tortilla. 
  • Bake for 25 minutes.
  • Once out of the oven, sprinkle the remaining chilli, sweetcorn and spring onions over the top and voila, you're ready to go!
Enjoy :)
