‘Vibrant and healthy veggie nachos’ is my version of a Jamie Oliver recipe. It’s quick and easy, looks fresh and vibrant and tastes delicious! It provides 4 of your 5-a-day; healthy fat from the avocado; protein from the feta and black beans; as well as a good amount of vitamin C plus a variety of other vitamins and minerals.
Serves 4
4 mixed-colour peppers
Half a red chilli
6-8 ripe tomatoes
bunch of spring onions
bunch of fresh coriander
2 limes
4 wheat free tortillas/wraps – I use Bfree Quinoa & Chia seed wraps
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
Chipotle Tabasco sauce – to taste
1 x 400g tin of black beans
1-2 ripe avocado
Half a block of feta cheese
Slice the peppers and bake in the oven with olive oil at 180ºC/350ºF/gas 5 for 15-20 mins.
In a large bowl, chop tomatoes and spring onion – squeeze over juice of one of the limes
Place a large frying pan over a high heat and toast the cumin seeds for a few seconds. Add the chilli, then the beans and Tabasco sauce and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Add to the tomatoes and spring onions.
Cut the tortillas into wedges and arrange over two baking sheets. Bake in the oven for around 5 minutes.
Once the peppers are done, mix with the other ingredients. Add more lime juice, then add feta, avocado and coriander and arrange the tortilla wedges around the bowl.
