Veggies, beans and cheese sandwiched in tortillas, then fried until golden on both sides. This is a great weeknight supper, ready in a flash - make one quesadilla per person. You can also cut them like a pizza and serve as a starter or party nibble.

This main dish has a rich, smoky flavour and tastes great with lemon-scented rice. This dish makes up one part of of a Tex-Mex vegetarian buffet and is ideal for serving alongside green rice, salsa cruda, stir-fried vegetables, rich roast onions, and coriander and cabbage slaw (all of which can be found on this site).

This is a wonderful Mexican-inspired salsa! It is full of black beans, corn, tomatoes and onion. I can never make enough when I have a party. Chill 24 hours before serving if you have time and serve with tortilla crisps.

Cara's Corn Chip Chilli Lasagna

Recipe by: caraanne

Reviews(1)

An excellent hearty and warming family meal. Can be mildly mouthwatering or hot as you dare. It can also be varied ever so slightly by trying different flavoured corn chips/tortilla chips. Try zingy lime or fragrant chilli varieties to suit your own tastes. I have seen chilli lasagna recipes before but always using pasta sheets which doesn't feel very Mexican to me. Serve with a crisp cooling salad dressed with mint, cucumber, yoghurt or soured cream.

Mexican Bean Salad

Recipe by: Pam Garrison

Reviews(2)

This Mexican-inspired salad works well as an addition to wraps, tacos and burritos. It's also good to spoon onto scrambled eggs. Of course, it's great on it's own, too! If you can't find tinned black beans, substitute dried or a tin of borlotti beans.

A colourful, spicy, and refreshing bean salad.

Mexican beans and fruit

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Earthy, rustic beans are surprisingly good paired with fruit, as in this classic from the Mexican kitchen, where it is called frijoles con frutas. If fruit with beans sounds alarming, just remember that the tomato – an essential ingredient of our familiar baked beans – is also a fruit. This is a high-fibre dish, rich with vitamins.

Mexican Chicken with Black Beans

Recipe by: Margaret Rolfe

Reviews(3)

Seasoned black beans, salsa and red pepper partnered with chicken make a robust and spicy meal. You can make this as spicy as you like depending on the salsa you use.

Mexican tostadas

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

Tostadas comes from the Spanish word for toasted – in Mexico it refers to flat, crisply toasted corn tortillas, topped with all sorts of savoury things. Chicken with beans and salad is a favourite. A base layer of a thick mixture – often refried beans, but here a spicy pepper and tomato mixture – keeps everything together.

Mixed bean chilli soup

Recipe by: Maggie Pannell

Be the first to review it!

This heart-warming soup is perfect for a chilly evening. It's packed full of vegetables and mixed pulses, making it an excellent source of fibre. Enjoy it with some crusty French bread to mop up the delicious liquid.

Pan-fried swordfish steaks with Mexican salad

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

The lively flavours of Mexico combine in this supper dish of spicy swordfish steaks paired with a salsa-style kidney bean salad based on the famous avocado dip, guacamole. Serve with boiled brown or white rice or, to carry through the Mexican theme, warm flour tortillas.

Refried bean burritos

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Pinto beans often feature in Mexican cooking, as their creamy texture makes them the perfect partner for strong flavours and spices. The beans aren't actually fried twice here, but are simmered first, then cooked gently in a little oil. Burritos make a hearty meal, needing no accompaniment and perhaps just some fruit to follow.

Speedy two-bean chilli

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(1)

Here's a hearty and satisfying chilli – without the carne (meat) – that can be made in minutes. This version combines two varieties of beans with sweetcorn in a rich tomato sauce flavoured with herbs, fresh chilli and chilli sauce. Serve with boiled rice or plenty of warm crusty bread.
