Tortilla Cheese Cake

This is out of this world and sooooooooo simple. We had this for our late lunch yesterday when we got back from town! Recipe is from Ainsley Harriott although I added the chips.

Tortilla Cheese Cake

1tbsp oil
1 small diced onion
1/2 to 1tsp hot chilli powder
1 tin of chopped tomatoes with herbs
1/2 tin of rinsed and drained kidney beans
200g frozen mixed veg
150g cheese (I used a mixture of parmesan and cheddar)
5 tortillas
couple of handfuls of tortilla chips

Pre-heat the oven gas mark 4
Fry the onion in the oil until soft and add the chilli powder. Add the chopped tomatoes, kidney beans and frozen veg and cook until the liquid has reduced and all the veg are cooked.
Take an oven proof plate and layer the tortillas with the mixture. Add the cheese after each later and sprinkle with tortilla chips.
Finish with a layer of cheese.

Pop in the oven for 10 mins or so until the cheese has melted. Cut into sliced and tuck in!
