This Mexican dish is great for sharing – so double the recipe to serve a crowd. Flour tortillas keep well in the freezer, so any leftovers from the burritos can be frozen.

Method

Heat the olive oil in a big frying pan over a gentle heat and fry the onion for 5 minutes until tender. Add the spices and mince and cook to brown all over, then add the beans and stock and simmer for 20 minutes.
Mix the tomatoes with the extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar and coriander. Season and set aside. Foil-wrap the tortillas and warm in a low oven.
Put the chilli in a serving bowl, place everything on the table and let everyone make their own burrito, adding cheese, avocado, soured cream and tomato relish to the chilli and wrapping it in a tortilla.

You can cook the chilli up to the end of step 1, then cool and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost, then reheat; make the relish and serve with the accompaniments. Alternatively, flour tortillas keep well in the freezer, so any leftovers from the burritos can be frozen.
