Preparation

Finely dice the onion and carrot.
Chop the chorizo, bell pepper, and courgette into small chunks.
Mince the garlic.

Cooking

Heat sunflower oil in a large oven-safe frying pan over medium heat.
Sauté the onion and carrot for 5 mins until softened.
Add chorizo and cook for 3-4 mins until it releases its oils.
Stir in garlic, bell pepper, and courgette, cooking for 2 mins.
Mix in cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and chilli flakes, cooking for 1 min.
Add chopped tomatoes, mixed beans, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins.

Plating & Serving

Spread half the chorizo mixture in the pan, place a tortilla on top, and cover with half the cheese sauce.
Add remaining chorizo mixture, top with the second tortilla, and spread the rest of the cheese sauce.
Sprinkle with mixed cheese.
Heat on stovetop until bubbling, then grill for 2-3 mins until cheese is melted.
Garnish with fresh coriander, sliced chilli, avocado, and red onion before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace chorizo with 200g canned chickpeas mixed with 1 tsp smoked paprika and use vegetarian cheese.
