Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Halve the peppers, remove the core and seeds and chop into 1cm chunks. Trim the courgette, quarter lengthways then chop into 1cm chunks.

2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Add the peppers and courgette and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 6-7 mins. Meanwhile, drain and rinse the kidney beans in a sieve.

3

Add the Mexican spice to the veggies and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the kidney beans, finely chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock and water (see ingredients for amount), bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer until thick and tomatoey, 6-8 mins. Tip: It will be quite a thick mixture.

4

Meanwhile, grate the cheese. Chop the coriander. Zest the lime and mix with the sour cream in a small bowl, set aside. Halve the chilli, remove the seeds and finely chop. Pop in a bowl. Halve the avocado. Remove the stone, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add half the lime juice and rougly mash with a fork. 

5

Spread a little of the veggie mixture into the base of a round ovenproof dish. Lay in a tortilla, then spread some more veg mixture on top. Scatter over some cheese., then pop another tortilla on top. Continue layering until you have used everything up, finishing with a tortilla on top and a final scattering of cheese.  The number of layers  you have will vary depending on the size of your dish!

6

Bake until golden and bubbly, 6-8 mins. In the meantime, trim the root from the baby gem, slice thinly. Mix the remaining lime juice, a glug of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix in the baby gem and set aside.  When ready, remove the bake from the oven and allow to sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving with the  salad and toppings of your choice! Enjoy!
