chili non-carne tortilla bake

31 August 2020 by Dominic Franks

chilli non carne

Like many people during lockdown, we’ve been growing all kinds of vegetables over the past few months.  Cabbage, cauliflowers, tomatoes and cucumbers, some more successfully than others but the reason I’m making this chili non-carne tortilla bake today is because of the beautiful yellow chillies we’ve harvested.  Our lovely friend Rosie gave us 4 seedlings back in March.  3 tomatoes and one teeny little chilli plant. They’ve all done very well although our harvest of tomatoes has been sporadic it looks like we’ll have a few dozen tomatoes if we’re a little patient. The chilli plant seemed to thrive on the windowsill and we’ve had roughly 12 wonderful yellow chillies.  I stupidly threw away the label so I don’t know what kind they are but I believe they’re Lemon Drops as they have a slightly citrus taste and are relatively hot.

I’m kind of winging it here because I knew I’d be making a chilli non-carne but I didn’t know I’d be turning it into a tortilla wrap bake but I wanted to create something that just went into the oven and could sit then until we decided what we wanted to do with it.  I’d purchased some gluten-free corn tortilla wraps back in July and they were about a day off being needed to be eaten so my mind was made up.  It turned out beautifully and even though it’s a rather lengthy process it’s actually all pretty easy with very little actual standing in front of the stove time. I’m using some fresh runner beans as I have a glut but any careen veg would work.  I’m also using a vegetarian mince but your favourite meat mince would work nicely too.

chilli non carne

for the chilli con carne

  • 1 medium red onion – finely chopped
  • 1 stalk of celery – finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic – crushed
  • 1 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 small medium fresh chilli – chopped
  • 3 or 4 runner beans – chopped
  • 500g mince – I’m using Quorn vegetarian mince but beef or lamb mince would work well
  • 1 x 400g tin red kidney beans
  • 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon tomato puree
  • 1 teaspoon fresh marjoram
  • a large splash of white wine
  • 1/2 litre good quality stock – I’m using vegetable stock but beef stock would be nice

for the bake:

  • 4 – 6 tortilla wraps
  • 150g cheddar cheese
  • 100g red Leicester cheese
  • 100ml soured cream
  • fresh coriander leaves

You’ll need an oven-proof dish that will fit your wraps once rolled up into a log.

Start with the chilli. On a medium heat, sauté the onions and celery in a large pan with a little olive oil until they start to soften – roughly 5 mins, then add the garlic and all the spices, turn the heat up a little and fry off for another 5 mins.

Stir in the green beans (if using) and the fresh chillies, followed by the mince which you should let brown for about 5 to 8 mins, before stirring in the rest of the ingredients. Turn the heat down and let it bubblier,le away for 20 mins on the lowest heat, then check for seasoning and add salt and pepper accordingly.

Let the pot gently plop away for at last 2 hours, then turn off the heat and set aside until you need it.  As always with these kinds of dishes, if you can leave it overnight then all the better.

Once you’re ready to make the bake, it’s essentially like making cannelloni.  Spoon a layer of the mince into the bottom of an oven-proof dish and sprinkle with the two cheeses.

Take the wraps and lay them out, then spoon a mince into them, a mix of cheese, soured cream and coriander and then roll them up tightly.  Place them into the oven-proof dish on top of the mince already laid in there.  Repeat this process until you’ve used all the wraps but remember to leave a little mince and a little cheese to be layers on top.

Bake on 180C for 25 mins until the cheese is golden and the dish is bubbling

Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cak Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cake?

This fat-free orange and lemon cake is actually an adaptation of the infamous Clementine Cake by @nigellalawson . It’s one of my absolute favourite ‘go-to’ cakes.  If truth be told I usually make it at Christmas because its rich almond nuttiness and intense clementine fruitiness is perfect for the holiday season but looking back over the years I realise I haven’t actually made it for about 8 years! So now seems the perfect time to resurrect an old favourite.  It’s also a great cake to make if you have an abundance of citrus fruit left over from last year.  I always seem to have a few stragglers left in the bowl that really need eating.

vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & chedd vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & cheddar dumplings with @quorn_uk pieces and @fage_uk yoghurt

The challenge with making food or diet-related New Years resolutions is that it tends to be pretty damn cold this time of year and all we really want to eat is warming soups and stews which often tend to be quite naughty.  With this stew I’ve tried to cut down the fat but still make it unctuous and satisfying although the dumplings are a total cop-out but I’m thinking that this is a ‘one bowl meal’ and I’m not saving it with any other carbs so I’m letting myself off here!

Roast Brussels Sprouts Fajitas with homemade Oat-F Roast Brussels Sprouts Fajitas with homemade Oat-Flour Tortillas

Not more Brussels sprouts I hear you cry! But like puppies, Brussels are not just for Christmas.  They are a very versatile vegetables and can be used in so many recipes, plus they’re packed with the good stuff. They’re high in fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to your diet. They also come with added health benefits, including the potential to reduce the risk of cancer, decrease inflammation and improve blood sugar control.  If all this isn’t good enough for your wellbeing then ive added some tangy Mexican-inspired spices and some homemade tortilla’s to remind us all of the sunshine and holidays… remember them?
