Ingredients you'll need
  • 1 onion
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 400g tin of black beans
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 400ml passata
  • 120g feta
  • 4 white tortillas
  • A handful of coriander, leaves only
  • 50g sweet salad mix
From your kitchen
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt
You'll need
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Medium pan with lid
  • Loose bottomed cake tin or ovenproof dish
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Peel and dice the onion and the sweet potato. Place a medium pan on a medium-heat and add ½ tbsp oil, the onion and the sweet potato. Season with a pinch of salt. Fry for 5 mins, stirring often, till the veg have started to soften and caramelise.

  • 2.

    While the veg fry, peel and crush or grate the garlic. Drain and rinse the beans. Stir the garlic into the frying veg with 1 tsp each dried oregano and Cajun seasoning. Cook and stir for 1 min.

  • 3.

    Tip in the beans and stir them into the veg. Pour in the passata. Stir to mix, then pop on a lid and simmer the sauce for 25 mins till the veg are tender. Sir every so often and add a splash of water if the sauce thickens too quickly.

  • 4.

    While the veg simmer, heat your grill to high. Crumble the feta into a small bowl.

  • 5.

    Lay 1 tortilla wrap in the base of a 20cm-round, loose-bottomed cake tin. No cake tin? Just use an ovenproof dish that you can snugly fit the tortilla into the base of.

  • 6.

    Taste the sauce and add a pinch more salt or Cajun seasoning if you think it needs it. Spoon a third of the sweet potato and black bean chilli over the tortilla. Cover with a second tortilla, and repeat till you’ve used all the chilli and all the tortillas – you’ll finish with a tortilla on top.

  • 7.

    Scatter the feta over the tortilla and slide under the grill. Cook for 8-10 mins till the feta is golden and melted. While the tortilla stack cooks, pick the coriander leaves off their sprigs.

  • 8.

    Serve the tortilla stack in slices, garnished with the coriander leaves and with handfuls of the salad mix on the side.
