Method

  1. Tip the pesto into a large pan with the mince and cumin, and fry for a few mins. Crumble in the stock cube, add the peppers and kidney beans, then fill the empty can with water and add this to the pan, too. Cover and simmer for 10 mins, then remove the lid and continue to cook for 5-10 mins or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and stir in the coriander.
  2. Heat the tortillas following pack instructions and serve with the chilli, avocados, onion and a dollop of mayo.

    My student son made this for us for dinner and said it was so easy to make he will try it when back at uni. Not easy to eat in wraps though! Maybe rice would have been better.

    actually really rather enjoyed this - used it with rice rather than the tortillas - also added a small tin tomato puree.

    Not bad, even for me as a spice-aphobe! Agree with others it would be nice with rice, although enjoyed it just as much in wraps. Partner and I would definitely make this again.

    Ok, but there's no way the sauce can be reduced down in 5-10 minutes. It took meine best part of 25 mins thus negating the 'super-speedy' in the title. For full blog and picture go to http://www.badzilla.co.uk/Easy-Cook--Super-Speedy-Chilli
