recipe: Mexican Inspired Beans - photos soon

This recipe is quite flexible and its perfect for a sunday brunch, you can add other vegetables or some meat if you wish, I made it vegetarian, and it was pretty quick and easy to make.

For 2:

1x 400g can mix beans, 2 garlic cloves crushed, 2 diced tomatoes, 1/2 red capsicum diced, 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp cajun spice mix or taco seasoning (a mixture of cumin, chili, paprika), 2 tbsp tomato paste, 2 corn tortillas, 2 eggs, salt and pepper to taste and a sprig of chopped coriander

1. Pre heat your oven to 190C;
2. In a fry pan, heat the oil, add garlic and cook for a couple of minutes;
3. Add tomatoes, capsicum and spice mix. Add beans (previously drained and rinsed) tomato paste and stir well to combine. Correct flavours and set aside;
4. Place each flour tortilla in a small oven proof dish. Fill the tortilla with half of the bean mixture. Make a small hole in the centre of the bean mixture and carefully crack each egg to fit into it. Season with salt, black pepper and top with coriander.
5. Bake the beans for about half an hour ( or until the eggs are coked through) and serve.
