Simple to make with store cupboard ingredients. I added some chilli powder to the bean mixture which gave the dish a bit of spice. Went down very well with all three generations living in our house.

I added some chilli powder to the mixture as it was just for me and my husband and also simmered the bean mixture for about 30 mins to soften the kidney beans. Was really delicious and easy to make, will definitely be making it again!

I'm always on the look-out for meat free recipes. This was easy and delicious and my husband and I loved it. Unfortunately my kids are fussy eaters and they weren't keen. Their loss though!

I love this recipe . It can be thrown together with store cupboard ingredients on an evening when you have a hungry house full , but little energy to cook !

I followed the recipe exactly then added meatballs! So so yummy!!! I don't really like beans but after making this they were yummy! I added some garlic bread to and a side salad! This feed 6 adults! and they all loved it
Guest
Great recipe! I made this last night and i added left over meat balls which ended up tasting amazing! Adults and kids loved it
Guest
I use chick peas instead of red kidney beans and also add a few finely chopped carrots to bulk it out (and get more veg in my kids!)
Guest
You could try chickpeas instead of beans.
Guest
Could anyone suggest another option to Kidney Beans or Baked Beans, as I hate all kinds beans.
Guest
I have done this with a tin of baked beans instead of kidney beans. Still tastes just as nice

Im not overly fond of kindney beans. What others could you use??
Guest
Great recipe, thank you. Everyone loved it & so simple to make, will definitely be making it again soon.
Guest
Simple to make. Very tasty. Thank you for the recipe.
Guest
totally yum yum and fed my whole family for £3 - fresh and yummy and a secret portion now in the freezer for me!
Guest
Thank you, thank you! Kids loved it, so did I, even carnivorous hubby ate it and admitted he liked it! Made 3 at a time, it froze and reheated well.
Guest
Tried this last night and a big hit :) only added half a tin of tomatoes as 2 1/2 of us eating. Also tried with different types of tinned beans as not that fond of kidney. Have also tried similar with half tomatoes poured over the top and then cheese, very Mexican - enchilada style! Thanks
Guest
mmmm, made this last night and it was delicious, will definitely be adding it to the list of regular meals!
Guest
Awesome dish, made it tonight and will be making it in the future! Thank you!
Guest
Finally a netmum dinner that we all actually liked! Really nice- very chessy and great as it has no meat in.
Guest
This really tasted like an authentic mexican dish. I'm a meat fan but this was a delicious vegetarian dish and cheap as chips! xx
Guest
I made this with pancakes instead of tortillas to bring the carb content down and not make it so 'bloaty'. It was gorgeous and made enough for four big meals with salad. Pancakes are cheaper than tortillas too!
Guest
i made this yesterday for tea and for once everyone loved what i had made, even my fussy 3 year old who never eats whats on her plate, i will deffinately be making this again.
Guest
Made this tonight and was sooooo good but VERY filling. Yum yum yum
Guest
This meal was lovely and VERY filling, i only used half a can of tomatoes though as i thought it would be quite runny with a full tin, it was enjoyed very much by myself and partner and our almost 2 year old, i'll be making it again.
Guest
This is such a tasty meal and its so easy to make my husband and 2 boys aged 4 years and 13 months love it! its very filling though so only have a salad with it.
Guest
Y.U.M!!!!!!!! We've just (literally!) eaten this. I too ran out of cheese lol but it was fine and I couldn't get any chilli beans as they sold out so used normal mixed beans with a chopped fresh chilli. It was enormously filling as we served it with salad and butternut squash wedges and I didn't give the kids a full portion as they simply couldn't eat that much but guess what's for lunch tomorrow?! A really reccomended recipe. I'll definitely cook it again....next week lol.
Guest
Made this tonight, was flippin delicious! Ran out of cheddar so grated red leicster on top. I loved it, 3 year old loved it and hubby who is a total carnivore loved it. I was gobsmacked when hubby liked it as normally if a meal has no meat in it hubby moans and moans but he cleared his plate and said that we will def be having that again!
Guest
Tried this one again tonight - see comment 22/10/08. Much better this time kids didn't protest, although they said they liked it they didn't want it again and 2 year old finished the lot after refusing the first time I made it!I used plain tortillas for the kids and Garlic ones for my husband and I.
Guest
I made this dish this week for me, my husband and toddler and the full lot went straight away - very clean plates!! Will definately be doing it again next week have already bought the ingredients. We have it with a side salad but you dont need much as it is very filling cat
Guest
This dinner gave us all a bad tummy. Not recommended.
Guest
i had to substitute alot of the ingrediants as i didnt have the full list and it turned out okay but abit sloppy , hubby said was ok for a snack but needed some salad or rice for future.
Guest
Hubby and I loved this although the two older kids (aged 5 yrs)ate it under protest and said they didn't like it and didn't want it again. Two year old just plain refused it.
Tried this the other day, was very yummy indeed! Will definitely make it again. We had ours with wholegrain rice on the side, delicious. x
Guest
we have enjoyed this recipe, time an time again! even been known to eat cold as so good!! Julie Osment

Save even more money by making your own tortillas. This recipe makes 6. 6oz plain flour 7tbsp cold water 1/2 tsp salt 1tbsp olive oil Mix all ingredients together and knead for 5 minutes.Cover with damp cloth and leave for 1/2 hr. Divide into 6 and roll out very thinly.Cook for 1 minute each side on a hot frying pan. Can add herbs/garlic powder etc to flavour if needed.
I used a tin of baked beans instead of the kidney beans. The tortillas were really nice (even the kids liked them!).
