Instructions

Roast the Peppers
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Halve the bell peppers and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.

c) Put the peppers on a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

d) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and slightly charred, 12-15 mins. Turn halfway through.

Get Prepped
2

a) Meanwhile, drain and rinse the kidney beans in a sieve.

b) Grate the Cheddar cheese.

Cook the Beans
3

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the kidney beans and Mexican style spice mix. Cook, stirring, for 1 min, then stir in the chopped tomatoes and vegetable stock paste.

c) Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 7-8 mins.

Tostada Time
4

a) Halfway through the peppers' cooking time, lay the tortillas onto a large baking tray in a single layer.

b) Rub each with a little oil and season with salt.

b) Bake on the middle shelf of the oven until golden and crispy, 4-6 mins. TIP: Tostada means 'toasted', so make sure they're crispy!

Make the Zesty Soured Cream
5

a) Meanwhile, zest the lime (see ingredients for amount) and cut into wedges.

b) Pop the soured cream in a small bowl. Mix in the lime zest and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Assemble and Serve
6

a) Taste the bean mixture and season if needed. 

b) Top your tostadas (3 per person) with spoonfuls of the veggie bean mix, roasted peppers and cheese - as much as you'd like.

c) Finish with a dollop of zesty soured cream and serve with the lime wedges for squeezing over. TIP: Tostadas are best enjoyed eaten by hand - get stuck in! 

Enjoy!
