I had contemplated using these naga bhut jolokia dried chillies that I recently picked up in Borough market. I thought however that this might be too much too soon for him. I heeded the warning that these should be 'handled with care'!
What you will need
3 tins of kidney beans
1 tablespoon of tomato
puree2 tea spoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of chilli powder
1 teaspoon of ground cloves
2-3 green chillies
Crispy iceberg or little gem lettuce
Cheddar
Guacamole
Salsa
A handful radishes
8 tostada corn tortillas
Fristly prepare the refried beans by adding the drained tins of kidney beans with all the spices, some salt, the chopped green chillies and tomato puree. Add a little but of water (c50ml) and heat through for a 5-6 minutes until the sauce has thickened and reduced. Take a potato masher to the beans to mash them up slightly. Then set aside.
Next make the guacamole and salsa. Grate enough cheddar for four people and slice the lettuce and radishes. Put everything aside and crisp up the tortillas for 4-5 minutes in a pre-heated oven or via frying.
When ready to serve, reheat the beans and bring all the dishes to the dinner table.
Start with the beans and spread on top of the tortilla. Next layer up the lettuce and radishes, then salsa and guacamole, then finally the cheddar (or mix it upyour way). This is a messy dish, eat with your hands and enjoy!
