Black bean and sweetcorn enchiladas

With additional chicken/turkey for the carnivores.

Finely chop a red onion and gently fry in small amount of oil until starting to turn translucent.

Stir in 1tsp of ground cumin and half tsp chilli powder and cook for a couple of minutes. If using meat, add good handful of chunks of cooked chicken/turkey.

Add large tin worth of sweetcorn (I typically use frozen), a drained tin of black beans and a few tablespoons of passata and heat through.

Divide between 6 tortilla wraps, form into enchiladas placing in large lasagne dish (either greased and/oron a small amount of home made tomato sauce). Top with rest of tomato sauce and grated cheddar. Cook in oven at 180C for about 30 minutes

Heat 1tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan. Gently fry a thickly sliced red onion until softened.

Tinga - Turkey or other

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan. Fry two sliced onions for 10 minutes or until softened. Add two crushed cloves of garlic and fry for another minute. Add 2tbsp chipotle chilli paste, 400g tin of chopped tomatoes and a heaped teaspoon of sugar (any type, although the recipe I based this on was light brown soft sugar). Simmer for 20 minutes until the liquid has reduced slightly.

If using left over roast Turkey or Chicken - add shredded meat at the most 10 minutes after the chilli and tomatoes. 

At that 10 minute mark I moved some of the Tinga sauce into a separate pan so the vegetarian in the family could have it with a plant based equivalent to chicken.

Serve in tortilla wraps with salsa, guacamole etc
