Ingredients

For the Roasted Vegetables

1 kg Butternut Squash See Notes.
1 Red Onion Chopped into chunks
3 Peppers Chopped into chunks
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Sauce

1 kg Passata
1 tbsp Garlic Puree or peeled and crushed
2 tbsp Paprika Regular or smoked is fine
4 tsp Ground Cumin
4 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Chilli Flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

To Assemble

790 g Mixed Beans in Chilli Sauce See Notes.
8 Soft Tortillas
200 g Cheddar Cheese

Imperial - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C. Toss all of the roasted vegetables ingredients on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes. (May need a little more or less depending on if you're using fresh butternut squash.)
Mix all of the sauce ingredients together and put HALF of the sauce in a bowl with the cooked vegetables and the beans.
With the other HALF of the sauce, put about half again into the base of a large roasting dish (this stops them from sticking!)
Mix up the beans and vegetable mixture and fill the toritllas with it. Pack them into the roasting tin.
Pour the remaining sauce over the top and top with cheese.
Put back into the oven for about 15 - 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and melted.

Notes

Note 1 - Butternut Squash
I use frozen peeled and shopped butternut squash, such a good value time saver. If you are using fresh you would need to adjust your timing accordingly.

Note 2 - Beans in Chilli Sauce
If you can't get hold of these, kidney beans in chilli sauce would be good, or regular mixed or kidney beans (drained) and just add a little extra chilli.
