Instructions

Sauce

Fry the onions until soft.
Add the garlic and fry for a further minute.
Add all spices and fry for 30 seconds.
Add the passata, sugar, vinegar, salt and simmer on a low heat for 15-20 minutes. You want the sauce to reduce slightly but not too much.
While the sauce is simmering, make the enchilada mix…

Enchilada Mix

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4.
Fry the onions until soft.
Add the garlic and fry for a further minute.
Add the spices and fry for 30 seconds.
Add the broccoli and pepper and cook until the broccoli turns golden.
Pop in the spinach and stir through until it wilts.
Add half the sauce, around 50g of the grated cheese, the black beans and salt. Stir through and immediately remove from the heat.
Place the 8 tortilla wraps out on the counter and evenly divide the mixture into the centre of each one.
Roll them up and place them seam side down into an ovenproof dish (roughly 20 x 30cm).
Pour over the remaining sauce and approx. 150g of the grated cheese.
Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and the cheese has melted through.
