Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Drain and rinse the cannellini beans. Finely slice the brown onion. Finely chop the carrot (unpeeled). TIP: Keep the skin on the carrot to retain the nutrients! Pick and finely chop the parsley leaves. Grate the Cheddar cheese. Dice the cucumber into 1 cm cubes.

Cook the filling
2

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the brown onion and carrot and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Add the mild Mexican spice blend and parsley and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Stir in the cannellini beans, tomato paste, salt (use suggested amount) and warm water (check ingredients list for the amount) and cook for 1 minute, or until the liquid reduces and the sauce thickens.

Assemble the enchiladas
3

Preheat the grill to medium-high. Lay the flour tortillas on a flat surface and spoon 1/2 cup of the bean mixture into the centre. Roll the tortilla tightly and place seam side down in a medium baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and bean mixture, ensuring the tortillas fit snug into the baking dish. TIP: When rolling the enchiladas, fold in the ends first then fold in the sides. This will mean less mess when serving!

Cook the enchiladas
4

Pour the enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with the grated Cheddar cheese. Place the dish under the grill for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and the tortillas are warmed through.

Toss the salad
5

While the enchiladas are cooking, combine the balsamic vinegar and a 1 tbs of olive oil in a large bowl. Add the mixed salad leaves, slivered almonds and cucumber and toss to coat. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper. TIP: Dress the salad just before serving to avoid soggy leaves.

Serve up
6

Divide the enchiladas and the salad between plates. Spoon over a dollop of sour cream and add a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) to the top of the adult portions. TIP: Some like it hot but if you don't, just hold back on the chilli.
