Wraps for Graham


This is enough for 2 hungry people.

Dice and gently fry an onion, capsicum (sweet/red) pepper and 2 cloves garlic in oil, until translucent.


Gather spices together.



Pour a little oil into the TILTED up pan and drop a tea spoonful of each spice into your new puddle of oil. The spices should be well wetted by the oil; if not, add more oil. Fry spices for half  a minute or so. DON'T BURN THE SPICES.



Stir spices into the veges whilst still heating. Mix well.


Add a tin of baked beans and a tin of water. Choose a brand with a lowish sugar content, as sugary beans, ie.Hienz, burn very quickly.


Add a diced chilli, or half a teaspoonful of chilli powder and the the juice of a lime to the pan, then throw the skins in, cut end up (or grate in the lime skin). Cook gently with no lid, stirring often, until the mix is quite thick and gloopy.

While the food's cooking, prep the accompaniments and put them on the table: 

- Tortillas sealed into a pot, and into oven on 180C (can be microwaved - read packet).

- cheese and a grater. 


- Put some natural yoghurt into a bowl with a teaspoon.


- Make a bowl of crunchy salad (any winter style salad veg will do). Here we used cabbage, celery, cooking apple, carrot, sweet pepper, dash lime juice (to stop carrot and apple going brown).


- The  second salad to make is an Avocado salad.  Dice 2 Avocados and 3 tomatoes into, roughly, half inch cubes. Add juice of a lime and about a tea spoonful of finely diced onion, and toss together. Lick fingers lavishly; wash hands. This salad can be seen in the triangular dish  on the 'table piccy' below.

Turn off the oven, check that the tortillas aren't dried up; sprinkle with water if they are. and leave in the hot oven til serving time.

put the plates into the oven about now.


Once the pan of bean mix has become thick, brown and sticky, stir in a tin of Kidney beans (or any other beans you fancy, such as butter beans, or black eyes etc) with the glutinous liquid they come in. Yes, put in the ENTIRE contents of the tin. Continue to cook and stir, until thick enough to just hold it's shape when pushed about with a spoon.


Put the pan of goop on the table, along with the warm tortillas and the plates and eat ....

Wrapping up the meal - 

Put a sensible amount of each of the 5  ingredients in a pile in the middle of a tortilla.

Wiggle the tortilla to persuade the filling to elongate a bit.

Fold up the bottom of the tortilla to stop the filling falling out when you lift it to your mouth.

Wrap up the filling with the rest of the tortilla and

EAT.
