Method

  1. Preheat the grill to high. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, pepper and garlic and cook for 5 mins until the veg is beginning to soften. Add the sweetcorn and beans, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins, stirring occasionally. 
  2. Spoon the beans evenly down the centre of the 2 tortilla wraps and roll up to seal. Place in a small ovenproof dish and top with the chopped tomatoes and cheese. Grill for 5 mins until golden and bubbling. 
  3. Scatter with the coriander and serve with the tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce on the side.
