Ingredients
For 4 portions
- 4 10 inch whole wheat tortilla
- 400g black beans, canned
- 150g brown rice (dry)
- 350ml tap water
- 1 medium onions
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 150g canned sweetcorn
- 80g spinach
- 50g cheddar cheese
- 4 Tbsp salsa
- 4 Tbsp yogurt, greek, whole milk, plain
- 1 Tsp cumin powder
- 1 Tsp smoked paprika
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 piece lime
- 15g fresh coriander
- 0.5 Tsp salt
Method
- Rice: rinse the brown rice, put it in a pan with the water and a pinch of salt, bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 25โ30 minutes until tender and the water is absorbed. Rest, covered, for 5 minutes, then stir in the juice of half the lime and half the chopped coriander.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the chopped onion and red pepper for 6โ8 minutes until soft.
- Add the cumin and smoked paprika and stir for 30 seconds, then add the drained, rinsed black beans, the drained sweetcorn, the remaining salt and 3 tablespoons of water. Cook for 4โ5 minutes, lightly mashing about a third of the beans so the filling holds together.
- Stir in the spinach for 1 minute until just wilted. Squeeze in the rest of the lime juice and add the remaining coriander.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for 20 seconds per side so they're soft and pliable.
- Lay each tortilla flat. Spoon a line of rice and bean filling down the middle, then add the grated cheddar, a spoonful of salsa and a spoonful of Greek yoghurt.
- Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from the bottom. For a crisp finish, toast seam-side down in the dry pan for 1โ2 minutes. Cut in half and serve.
