Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200 °C. Cook the chopped onion and diced pepper in the oil for 5 minutes, add the chicken cut into small pieces and cook for 6–7 minutes until cooked through.

  2. Stir in the garlic, cumin, paprika, beans, sweetcorn and a third of the tomatoes. Season and simmer for 2 minutes.

  3. Season the remaining tomatoes and spread a little over the bottom of a baking dish. Divide the filling between the tortillas, roll them up and lay them snugly side by side in the dish.

  4. Pour over the rest of the tomato sauce, scatter with the cheese and bake for 15–20 minutes until the cheese has melted and browned in places.

  5. Serve with soured cream and sliced spring onions.
