NSW:   EVERYDAY  ACT: GREEN

Ingredients

 20 tortillas
 2 x 420g cans canned black beans, rinsed and drained
 2 x 420g cans canned corn kernels, rinsed and drained
 1 red onion, chopped
 2 cups light tasty cheese, grated

Method

1

Lay out tortillas.

2

In a bowl, lightly smash the black beans with the back of a
fork to flatten them.

3

For each toastie, spoon about 2 tablespoons of black beans across half of the tortilla, leaving a bit of space from the edge.

4

Add about 2 tablespoons of corn and 1 tablespoon of red onion and then top with about 2 tablespoons of cheese.

5

Fold over the other half of the tortilla to form a half moon shape. Ensure filling is close to the centre so it does not spill over.

6

Toast in a sandwich press until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Variations

  • Pita pockets can be used in place of tortillas.
  • Substitute black beans with kidney beans.
  • Other great fillings include baked beans and cheese, and spinach and cheese.

Tips

  • Keep toasties warm in a pie warmer or oven before service.
