1. Heat grill to medium-high. Put 2 tortillas onto a large baking sheet, then grill for 2 mins. In a bowl, mix the refried beans, cayenne pepper, kidney beans and cherry tomatoes, then divide half the mix between the tortillas. Scatter with half of the cheese and half of the sliced chilli, then grill again until the cheese melts. Lift onto plates and top with half of the avocado and coriander to serve. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Refried beans aren't fried?

Refried beans aren't fried at all - they're superhealthy pinto beans simply boiled down with spices and seasoning.

  Very nice and tasty. Needs seasoning - the chilli is not as hot as you'd expect. Also worth warming the refried bean mixture in the microwave as it is hard to heat this through sufficiently under the grill. Definitely recommended and we'll be making this again.

  I didn't bother having the kidney beans with the refried beans, i think you'd be all beaned out. This was good, if a little bland - it was much better with a spicy lime, coriander and tomato salsa I made to go with it.

  Fantastic recipe. This went down a treat. And vegetarian as well. Will be on our list of best meals to serve when entertaining. Served with a spoonful of sour cream just adds that little bit extra.
