Ingredients and Method

Mexican bean snack
This unusual dish is a quick and easy meal for a lazy night dinner or unexpected visitors.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
5 ml Canola / olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, crushed
½ green pepper, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
2 “lite” vienna’s
1 x 410 g tin of baked beans in tomato sauce
freshly ground black pepper to taste
5 ml mild chili powder / curry powder
100 g low fat cheese, grated (3 matchboxes of cheese)
2 slices of hot toast

 

Instructions:
  • Heat the oil and fry the onion, garlic and green pepper until soft. Add the tomato and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the rest of ingredients, excluding the cheese and toast and cook for        5 minutes, stir occasionally.
  • Add some of the cheese and heat until the cheese has melted.
  • Pile generously onto the dry toast and sprinkle with the rest of the grated cheese. Serve hot.
