Method

Fry th onion and red pepper in olive oil for 10 inutes, stirring often.

Add the red kidney beans, chopped tomatoes, chopped flat-leaf parsley and paprika and cook for 10 - 15 mintues, or untl the vegetables are soft.

Add a little water if the mixture is too dry. Season to taste.

Mash a third of the beans against the side of the pan, stir them back into the mixture and cool.

Toss the avocadoes in the lemon juice.

Spread the cottage cheese on the toasted tortillas and place some of the bean mixture and avocado on each one.

Scatter with grated Cheddar or mozzarella and roll up, tucking in the edges.

Cook's note: I make this dish when I don't feel like spending ages in the kitchen. it uses ingredients that I keep in my grocery cupboard and it's quick and easy to prepare.
