Ingredients

  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 long red chilli, finely diced
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp sweet paprika
  • 400g tin diced tomatoes
  • 2 x 300g Heinz Baked Beanz cans
  • 4 tomatoes, seeds removed, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 2 limes
  • 1/2 bunch coriander, chopped
  • 2 avocados
  • 150g sour cream
  • 170g corn chips

Method

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 180C.
  • Step 2
    Heat oil in a large saucepan and fry onion, garlic and chilli for 4 - 5 minutes. Add cumin and paprika and cook, stirring, for another minute. Add tinned tomatoes and Heinz Original Baked Beans. Bring to the boil. Transfer to an oven-proof dish and baked, covered, for 15 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Meanwhile, make a fresh tomato salad by combining tomatoes, red onion, the juice of 1 lime and a tablespoon of chopped coriander in a bowl. Season well. Make guacamole in another bowl by mashing the flesh of the avocados with the juice of 1 lime and plenty of salt and pepper.
  • Step 4
    Remove baked beans from oven and garnish with remaining coriander. Serve with fresh tomato salad, guacamole, sour cream and corn chips.
Recipe Notes

You can serve this with tortillas or soft taco shells instead of corn chips.

Save on the washing up and use a frypan that can be transferred into the oven and straight to the table.

This would be a great dish to serve at a party - let everyone dip in and help themselves.

If you're short on time, simmer the beans on the stovetop for 15 minutes and serve straightaway.
