Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the peppers and onions for 6-8 mins. Stir in the sweetcorn and cook for another 3-4 mins until softened. 
  2. Tip the passata into a small pan and add 1 tsp spice mix and a pinch of sugar. Simmer over a medium heat for 3-4 mins until reduced slightly, then pour 1⁄3 of the sauce into a large casserole or baking dish and spread out. 
  3. Stir the remaining spice mix into the veg and add the kidney beans and 2 tbsp water. Stir to coat and heat for 2 mins to warm through. Remove from the heat. 
  4. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Divide the veg filling between the tortillas and roll up into thick cigars. Arrange in a single layer over the sauce. Pour the remaining sauce over the centre, smoothing out to the sides but leaving a few edges exposed. Bake for 15-20 mins until the sauce is bubbling. 
  5. Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes, lime juice and zest, chilli (if using) and coriander in a small bowl; season with black pepper. Serve the enchiladas with the tomato salsa alongside or scattered over the top.
