INGREDIENTS:
6 tortillas 1 tbsp oil 1 onion, chopped
1 pound canned refried beans 6 lettuce leaves, shredded 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
2 tomatoes, sliced 2 tbsps snipped chives 1/2 cup sour cream
chopped fresh cilantro leaves TACO SAUCE: 1 tbsp oil 1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced 1 red or green chili 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander 1/2 clove garlic, minced pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and sugar
14 ounces canned tomatoes tomato paste (optional)



1 Wrap the tortillas in foil, and heat in a warm oven to soften.
2 Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the onion, and cook until soft but not colored. Add the beans and heat through.
3 Spoon the mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and chives. Fold over the sides to form a long rectangular parcel. Make sure the filling is completely enclosed.
4 Place burritos in an ovenproof dish, cover, and cook in a preheated 350 F oven for about 20 minutes.
5 Meanwhile, make the taco sauce. Heat the oil in a heavy-based saucepan and, when hot, add the onion and bell pepper. Cook slowly to soften slightly.
6 Chop the chili, and add with the cumin, coriander, and garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the seasoning, sugar, and tomatoes with a fork or a potato masher.
7 Cook for another 5 to 6 minutes over moderate heat to reduce and thicken slightly. Add tomato paste for color, if neccassary.
8 Spoon the taco sauce over the cooked burritos. Top with sour cream and sprinkle with chopped cilantro to serve.
