Enfrijoladas

INGREDIENTS

METHOD

  1. Simmer the broad beans for 3 minutes. Drain, saving 2-3 tbsp of the cooking water. 

  2. In a blender, add the beans, fresh coriander and 1-2 tsp of the readymade spice blend from the kit. Blitz. 

  3. Fry the tortillas from the kit gently for a minute so they’re warm. Spread half the bean salsa across them. 

  4. Meanwhile, quickly scramble the eggs, being sure not to overcook them. 

  5. Fill the tortillas with the egg, feta and a dash of finely chopped onion. 

  6. Roll up, placing them in a row in a serving dish. Spoon a decent dollop of the bean salsa over each roll. 

  7. Garnish with sour cream, avocado, finely chopped red chilli and plenty of herbs if you wish.
