  • ground cumin and paprika; chili (optional)
  • grated Cheddar

  3. Warm enough olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Put the onion and garlic in the skillet with some salt and pepper. Cook them for 2-3 minutes until the onion gets soft. Add spices to your taste and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Mix in fresh paprika, tomatoes, and kidney beans. Cook for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes break down.

  4. Heat the oven to 200°C. Take out a tortilla, spread some avocado purée on half of it, put enough veggies and beans on top, and finish with grated Cheddar. Fold the other half on top and put the tortilla on a tray. Repeat with the rest of them until you're out of ingredients. Put the tray with tortillas in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes until the cheese melts.

  5. Take the tortillas out of the oven and put them on a plate. Serve with some yogurt or sour cream.
