Ingredients

  • 8 tortillas
  • 1 small white onion thinly sliced
  • 1 large courgette cut into batons
  • 1 red pepper cut into strips
  • 1 yellow pepper cut ito strips
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp cayenne
  • 1.5 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds coarsely crushed in a pestle and mortar
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp chilli flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a little oil in a frying pan until it’s really hot.
  • Thinly slice the onions and add to the oil with a pinch of salt. Stir well and cook until they begin to soften.
  • Add the peppers to the pan and cook on high; a little charring on the skin is also good! Cook them for 8 mins until they have softened through and add the garlic.
  • Fry for a further 2 minutes before adding the batons of courgette to the pan.
  • Fry for a further 5 mins, giving the courgette a chance to heat through.
  • Add the spices to the pan and fry for a further 2-5mins. (Add a little water if the vegetables are beginning to stick but aren’t yet cooked through).
  • Once all of the vegetables have softened but before they completely lose their shape serve in tortillas with any cheese, salsa, sour cream etc. that you choose.
