This dish is mostly raw (apart from the pureed tomato) and because of this easy to prepare. We also like this dish served on a bed of rice for an alternative to the corn chips.  If you prefer the beans warm you can add the beans into the sauce whole in the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Ingredients

  • 400g / 14oz tin tomatoes – pureed
  • 2 small red chillies – washed, sliced finely
  • 1 red capsicum – washed, deseeded, diced
  • 1 green capsicum – washed, deseeded, diced
  • 2 400g / 14oz tins red kidney beans – rinsed, drained, blended
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 20 cherry tomatoes – washed, quartered
  • 1 red onion – peeled, rinsed, diced
  • 3 avocados – skin removed, blended
  • 1 garlic clove – peeled, rinsed, crushed
  • 1 lemon – juiced
  • 1 red onion – peeled, rinsed, diced
  • 230g / 8oz corn chips
