Method
Step 1
Heat oil in a non-stick frypan and cook onion and capsicum until tender, about 5 minutes.Step 2
Stir in red kidney beans and cannellini beans.Step 3
Add tomato paste, reduce heat and simmer for a further 15-20 minutes until completely cooked and sauce has thickened. Once tender, mash the beans with a fork or potato masher. Stir in chopped parsley and season to taste.Step 4
Heat a sandwich press or frying pan. Spread Marmite™ onto two tortillas as desired. Spoon 1/4 of the mix and 1/4 of the cheese on each of the tortillas and then top with another tortilla. Cook for 1-2 minutes until browned and cheese has melted, turning the tortilla and cook for another minute if using a frypan.Step 5
Cut into wedges and serve with avocado slices, yoghurt and salad.
Tips
- If the sandwich press has a smaller grill plate, then fold each sandwiched tortilla over in half, or even in quarters, and grill.
- Baked beans can be substituted for red kidney beans.
- Add avocado for extra flavour.
