These spicy mixed bean tortillas are especially great if you've got to get somewhere in a hurry as they're quick and so easy to make.
Mummy blogger Anneliese, who created these, says: "Evening meals can easily become repetitive, so I am always trying to think of new ideas to keep the kids interested. Wraps are a big hit in our house so I set about incorporating them into a meal. The kidney beans and mixed beans are a great source of protein and are very good value. This really is a quick dinner to put together so is perfect for a busy weekday when time is limited." Using mainly store cupboard ingredients, this is a great budget dinner, one of our best cheap family meals.

Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5. Use a little oil to grease a large ovenproof dish.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan to fry the diced onion and carrot gently. Cook over a moderate heat for 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Don't forget to give it a stir from time to time!
- Now add your can of chopped tomatoes, kidney beans and mixed beans to the frying pan and give all the ingredients a good mix. Continue to cook for approximately 5 minutes.
- Divide half the grated cheese between each of the eight wraps, and then divide the bean mixture between them.
- When the wraps are filled they are ready to be rolled up and placed in to the ovenproof dish, seam side down.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the wraps and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
