Equipment
1 Sharp Knife

The Good Bit
  1. Chop both the onions into fine cubes and fry off half in the frying pan until golden (3-4mins), add the cumin and fry for another minute, Add the kidney beans and keep over a low heat whilst you prepare the rest.
  2. Chop your tomato into small cubes and add the rest of the onion into the small mixing bowl with the lemon/lime juice, A tablespoon full of the chopped parsley and a splash of olive oil and mix gently
  3. Heat the tortillas according to packet instructions, whilst doing this mash the onion and kidney beans in a large bowl.
  4. Serve each tortilla rolled up with a handful of lettuce and a generous helping of the mash inside and good dollops of guacamole and salsa on top and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
