Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Cut the tortillas into triangles, brush with a little oil and bake for 10-15 minutes, until crisp.
- Meanwhile, heat a little more oil in a large pan. Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, fry for 30 seconds, then stir in the beans, tomatoes and sugar; cook for 5 minutes. Roughly mash the beans with a fork and continue cooking for 5-10 minutes, until thickened.
- In a bowl, combine the avocado, tomato, chilli and half the coriander with the lime juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Season well.
- Stir the remaining coriander through the beans and spoon over the tortillas. Scatter with the cheese and serve with the avocado salsa.
