Instructions

Sauce

  • Fry the onions until soft.
  • Add the garlic and fry for a further minute.
  • Add all spices and fry 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.

  • 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.
