  • Add 0.5 tsp of Paprika, 0.5 tsp of Cumin, 0.5 tsp of Garlic powder, 0.5 tsp of Mild chilli powder, 0.5 tsp of Ground coriander and 1 pinch of Sea salt and ground black pepper, mix well and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Toast 4 slice of Whole wheat bread and then spread two slices with 4 tbsp of Salsa. Divide the vegetables between the two salsa slices and then top with the 40 g of Mature light cheddar.
  • Put until the grill for 3 minutes until the cheese has melted, put the other slice of toast on top.
  • Serve with Guacamole, Salsa, Sour cream and Tortilla chips (all optional).

Notes

  • Feel free to adapt the vegetables used. Just make sure that they are quick cooking soft vegetables, so that everything cooks evenly.
  • You could swap the cheddar for Swiss cheese or pepper jack. Just use anything that would melt well.
  • When it comes to bread, you can use your favourite slices. Sourdough or tiger loaf work well.
  • If you want to add some protein, add some leftover shredded chicken.
