Beans are anything but boring, especially when they are mixed into this Mexican classic. Our black bean enchiladas are filled with rich wintery staples such as tomatoes, peppers and spices. We finish ours off in the oven, to get that golden cheesy topping we all know and love. Dig in!

SERVES 4 // COOKING TIME 75 min

INGREDIENTS
¼ cup olive oil
2 onions, peeled and chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp dried origanum

400g tin red kidney beans
1 tsp sugar

1 tsp paprika
Juice of 1 lemon
2 chicken breast fillets, sliced
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup tinned sweetcorn

1 cup sour cream
2 cups grated cheddar

METHOD
1. Heat a little oil and fry 1 onion until soft, 5 minutes. Add 2 garlic cloves and fry for 1 minute.
2. Add flour, origanum, chilli powder and 1 tsp cumin.
3. Add 1 tin chopped tomatoes, beans and sugar. Simmer, while stirring, for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season.
4. Preheat oven to 200°C and grease an ovenproof dish.
5. Mix 2 tsp cumin, coriander, paprika, lemon juice and 2 tbsp olive oil. Coat the chicken and leave to marinate for 10 minutes.
