Ingredients

  • 2 red onions, 1 thinly sliced, 1 finely chopped

  • 2 limes, juice of 1 and 1 cut into wedges

  • 1½ tbsp sunflower oil

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 2 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tbsp tomato purée

  • 1 tbsp chipotle paste

  • 400g can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

  • 4 corn tortillas

  • 140g radishes, thinly sliced

  • large handful coriander, roughly chopped

Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the sliced onion, lime juice and seasoning in a bowl, and set aside.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a pan and fry the chopped onion and garlic until tender. Stir in the cumin and fry for 1 min more. Add the tomato purée, chipotle paste and beans, stir, then tip in half a can of water. Simmer for 5 mins, season, then roughly mash to a purée. (You can cook for a few mins more if it is a bit runny, or add a few splashes of water to thin.)

  3. Meanwhile, brush the tortillas with the remaining oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 mins until crisp. Spread the tortillas with the bean mixture. Mix the radishes and coriander with the pickled onions, then spoon on top. Serve with lime wedges.
