YARN HARLOT BLACK BEAN TORTILLA THINGS

Steps:

• Turn the oven on to 350 F. Chop up all the veggies pretty small (small like the corn and black beans) and mix everything (except for the tortillas) together. Get a pint glass and use it upside down like a cookie cutter to cut the tortillas into as many rounds as you can squeeze out of them. Tuck the tortilla rounds down into muffin cups. Fill each cup with a spoonful or two of the black bean stuff Then bake for about 12-15 minutes. You want the tortilla cups to start to brown and be quite crisp, and for the cheese to be melted. Take them out of the pans right away and either serve right then while they're warm, or let them cool to room temperature on a rack (so they stay crisp) and serve later. Makes several dozen. I've experimented over the years, and I can tell you this. I like them with cilantro in them, but some people don't - I also like them with extra spring onion and a handful of chopped fresh parsley, and remember to cut things up pretty small. You can put just about anything in them, just don't make the mix of stuff too wet. I used a whack of salsa one year and things were a little gloopy and the tortilla tart part was damp instead of crispy. You don't want that. If you're feeding a slightly more refined (or less diverse) crowd, you can get fancy and mince a hot pepper into them, and I've made a really good batch by subbing some blue cheese and broccoli and taking out the avocado and cheddar.

BLACK BEAN TORTILLA WITH SALSA

Steps:

• Tip the tomatoes into a pan and stir in the onion, ½ the chilli and the smoked paprika. Cook over a low heat for 10 mins. Tip ¾ into a bowl, then stir in 2 tbsp of the coriander and the olives and lemon juice.
• Meanwhile, heat the grill. Tip the beans into a bowl and stir in the remaining chilli, the garlic, cumin and coriander. Beat in the eggs, then add the reserved ¼ of the salsa and the remaining fresh coriander with a little salt to taste. Blitz a little using a hand blender or mash some of the beans with a potato masher.
• Heat a 24cm non-stick pan with the oil. Pour in the bean mixture and leave to cook gently for 5-7 mins until the base is set, then grill for 5 mins. Tip out and cut into 4 wedges. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, serve two wedges with half of the remaining salsa and the rocket. Chill the rest for the following day.
