FRY FOR FLAVOUR
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic, the drained peppers, and the NOMU spice blend, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly).
MAKE THE MINCE
When the garlic is fragrant, add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the cooked chopped tomato and 100ml of water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 6-7 minutes (shifting occasionally).
TOR-TILLA WORTH IT!
When the mixture has reduced, add the drained black beans, seasoning, and a sweetener (to taste). Pour ½ the mixture into an ovenproof dish (large enough for the tortillas). Top the mixture with 1 of the tortillas and then pour over the remaining mixture. Top with the remaining tortilla. Sprinkle over the grated cheese. Bake in the hot oven until the cheese is golden, 7-8 minutes (watching closely so it doesn't burn).
