Serves 3
Ingredients
For the pickled red onion
Sarson's malt pickling vinegar
375g red onion, sliced
3 cloves of garlic, peeled
For the chilli bean bites
400g can of mixed beans, washed and drained
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp chilli powder
165g cheddar cheese, grated
5g fresh coriander
Pinch of salt and pepper
60g dried breadcrumbs
Olive oil to fry
To finish
6 soft tortillas
Mayo
Paprika
Mixed salad
Method
Put the onions and garlic in a sterilised large jar and fully cover with vinegar. Replace the lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Place the beans, curry powder, chilli powder, cheese, coriander, salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse until combined but still coarse. Tip into a bowl and stir in the breadcrumbs. Divide the mix into 12 equal pieces, roll into balls and flatten slightly.
Heat about 1cm of olive oil in a pan until very hot. Add the bites to the pan with a slotted spatula and fry for about a minute either side until golden. (If your pan is smaller, work in batches). Drain on kitchen towel.
Fold each tortilla in half, then into thirds to create a pocket. Fill with salad, a little mayo and a dash of paprika, then place two bites in each pocket. Finish with some of the pickled onions.
