    1 Heat the oil in the pan and cook the onion and garlic until soft. Stir in the spices then add the soy sauce, hot water, sugar and tomato paste.

    2 Using a fork, mash half the beans into the spice mix, then leaving the remainder of the beans whole, stir them into the mixture with the hot water and lemon juice. Heat thoroughly, adding a little more water to soften the consistency if needed.

    3 Divide the mixture between 2 flour tortillas, add sliced lettuce, chopped tomato, grated cheese and sour cream. Fold the bottom towards the middle then roll the sides around to wrap the filling as best you can. Eat immediately.
