Instructions
Sauce
- Fry the onions until soft and golden.
- Add the garlic and fry for a further minute.
- Add all spices and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the passata, sugar, vinegar, salt and simmer on a low heat for 15-20 minutes. You want the sauce to reduce slightly but not too much.
- While the sauce is simmering, make the enchilada mix…
Enchilada mix
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4.
- Fry the onions until soft.
- Add the garlic and fry for a further minute.
- Add the spices and fry for 30 seconds.
- Add the broccoli and pepper and cook until the broccoli turns golden.
- Pop in the spinach and stir through until it wilts.
- Add half the sauce, around 50g of the grated cheese, the black beans and salt. Stir through and immediately remove from the heat.
- Place the 8 tortilla wraps out on the counter and evenly divide the mixture into the centre of each one.
- Roll them up and place them seam side down into an ovenproof dish (roughly 20 x 30cm).
- Pour over the remaining sauce and approx. 150g of the grated cheese.
- Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and the cheese has melted through.
