Ingredients you'll need
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 chilli
  • 2 vine tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 400g tin of black beans
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 white tortillas
  • 50g rocket
  • ½ x 200g feta cheese
  • 150g yogurt
From your kitchen
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Heat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6.

  • 2.

    Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Halve the chilli, scraping out the seeds and membrane for less heat, and finely chop the chilli. Chop the tomatoes into small chunks.

  • 3.

    Pour 1 tbsp oil into a pan and warm to a medium heat. Slide in the chopped garlic and chilli. Stir in 1 tbsp smoked paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry for 1-2 mins. Slide in the chopped tomatoes and cook for a further 2 mins.

  • 4.

    Drain the black beans through a sieve and rinse with cold water. Tip the beans into the pan and stir well. Cover the pan with a lid, lower the heat and cook gently for 15 mins, stirring occasionally.

  • 5.

    Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Slide into a small bowl. Grate in the lemon zest and squeeze over half the lemon (save the other half for later). Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper and scrunch everything together. Set aside for 10 mins.

  • 6.

    Chop the tortillas into 8 triangles each and spread them out on 1 large or 2 medium baking trays. Slide the trays into the oven and bake for 5-10 mins, till the nacho chips are golden and crisp.

  • 7.

    Tip the rocket into a bowl. Squeeze over the juice from the remaining lemon half. Toss well to dress.

  • 8.

    Arrange the nacho chips onto 2 warm plates and top with the smoky black beans, the pickled red onions and half the pack of feta cheese, crumbled. Finish with a scattering of the lemony rocket leaves and a few spoonfuls of yogurt.

  • Tip

    Better with feta
    Sprinkle the remaining feta over thick slices of toast that have been topped with smashed avocado. Squeeze over a little lime juice and sprinkle with chilli flakes for a light lunch that packs a punch.
