Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, 2 medium bowls, a measuring jug & a sieve

Pickle the cabbage & prep the salsa

  • Trim and finely slice the cabbage, then add to a medium bowl, along with the vinegar and a pinch of salt. Leave to pickle
  • Roughly chop the coriander. Crumble the feta. Deseed and finely dice the chilli. Drain the sweetcorn
  • In the other medium bowl, combine the corn, juice from the lime, coriander and chilli (for those who'd like the heat). Season to taste

Cook the tortillas

  • Heat the large frying pan on high heat. Once hot, add 3-4 tortillas to the pan and cook for 1 min on each side, until golden. Remove and repeat with the remaining tortillas (3-4 per person)
  • Wrap the tortillas in a clean tea towel to keep warm and set aside for later

Simmer simmer

  • Drain and rinse the beans. Thinly slice the onions
  • Reheat the frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 4 mins, then add the beans, Mexican spice mix, tomato puree and 200ml water
  • Simmer for 10 mins, until the liquid has thickened. Lightly crush some of the beans with the back of a fork. Add a splash of water if it becomes too dry. Season with salt to taste

Plate up

  • Serve the tortillas onto plates. Spread the yoghurt over the tortillas and top with the crumbled feta
  • Add the bean mix, pickled cabbage and finish with the corn salsa
