Mexican Inspired Beany Chorizo Tostadas
with Guacamole and Cheese
Today we'll be whipping up a delicious Mexican feast, piled high on crispy, crunchy tostadas. A tostada is just a tortilla that has been toasted, but the flavour marries perfectly with Mimi's Mexican beans and some creamy avocado. Say 'Ole!' for guacamole!

The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
Drain and rinse the mixed beans in a sieve.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.
Next, stir in the sliced pepper. Stir-fry until softened, 5-6 mins, then add the garlic and Mexican style spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder). Cook for 1 min more.
Stir in the mixed beans, chopped tomatoes, veg stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount), then simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, 10-12 mins. Add a splash of water if it gets too thick.
While the beans and pepper simmer, grate the Cheddar cheese and halve the lime (see ingredients for amount).
Lay the tortillas (2 per person) onto a large baking tray in a single layer and rub each with a little oil.
Season with salt, then bake on the top shelf of the oven until golden and crispy, 4-6 mins. TIP: Tostada means 'toasted', so make sure they're crispy!
Meanwhile, halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out into a bowl.
Add a squeeze of lime juice to the avocado and mash together with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, then set your guacamole aside.
When everything's ready, taste and season the beans with salt and pepper if needed.
Pop the tostadas onto your plates and top with the bean mixture and guacamole - as much as you'd like.
Sprinkle over the cheese to finish. TIP: Tostadas are best enjoyed eaten by hand - get stuck in!
Enjoy!
Step 2 MOD: If you’ve chosen to add chorizo to your meal, add it to the pan before the pepper. Fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins, then add the pepper and continue as instructed.
