  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion and peppers for 8-10 mins until soft, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and chilli and fry for 1 min more, or until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the fajita seasoning, then add the chopped tomatoes, stock and black beans. Simmer for a further 10-15 mins until thickened. Season well. 
  3. Meanwhile, toast the bread and divide between 4 plates. Spoon over the chilli beans and add a dollop of soft cheese. Sprinkle with the coriander and spring onions, then grind over some black pepper.
