Tips:

• Corn tortillas are sold fresh under refrigeration, frozen, or cryovac-packed on supermarket shelves.
• Keep some on hand to use as wrappers for leftover meatloaf, Bolognese sauce, or even grilled sausages.
• Make certain you get corn tortillas for this recipe – not the flour variety.
• We used dried kidney beans in this recipe, but if you are in a hurry, you can substitute a 420g can of kidney beans, rinsed and drained.
• The chillies are the kind found bottled in vinegar or olive oil in Mexican, Middle-Eastern or Italian food stores – long and sweet with just a bit of heat – perfect munched on with other pre-dinner snacks!
