      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

You can use thawed frozen corn kernels instead of fresh corn kernels in this recipe.

If you use a pizza tray, ensure it has a lip around the edges to ensure filling and cheese are contained.

You can replace canned beans with dried beans (soaked and cooked) in this recipe (see pg. 179).

Serve with a garden salad, steamed vegetables or cooked black beans.

This dish is a source of zinc, iron, vitamin C and protein.

To aid with digestion and reduce flatulence caused by the fibre in the beans, you may want to add a small amount (just a pinch or two) of asafoetida during cooking. You can buy asafoetida at Indian food stores, some Asian food stores, health food stores and online.

    Lillo: Thanks for your message. We didnt drain the tomatoes and find different types (crushed, diced, whole) and different brands can vary the thickness. If you need to thicken, extend the cooking time at step 6 until the mixture reduces a little more. This recipe is a firm favourite, you wont be disapointed.

    Have just cooked the ingredients up to the layering part...I'm finding my mix to be very liquid. The recipe doesn't state the tinned tomatoes needing to be drained...it's the only thing I can think of that caused this...Does anyone have a solution please? So disappointed, TIA Jude.

    Submitted by Sootface87 on 4. June 2022 - 16:49.

    This was a delicious dinner. I made a few little changes to suit our tastes.

    - I chopped a bunch of fresh corriander with the cheese reserving the stalks for the meat mixture.
    - I added 500g minced beef and corriander stalks after chopping the zuchinni/capscuim/corn. Mixed it with the spatula then cooked as per the recipe for 15min.
    - This recipe was a little wet for me (i suspect the Zuchinni) so I wouldnt add the tinned tomatoes next time and just have the tablespoons of tomato paste and ADD a tablespoon of vegtable stock.
    - When layering, I pasted each wrap with a thin smear of sour cream, added the meat mixture and a light layering of grated cheese. Repeat for each layer.

    This makes a massive stack. Would easily serve 6 people generously.

    Thanks again for this show stopper.

    Thank you for your feedback. The recipe should actually have stated 4 garlic cloves instead of just 1. It has now been updated.

    Submitted by Amandalazy on 16. September 2018 - 16:30.

    This is a real family winner! I grate the cheese right at the end after assembling stack and giving bowl a quick rinse. Saves washing it before sautéing onions. I also blend it all reasonably well after 15min cooking time - for the kids 😉 Also, no need to use baking paper - let’s reduce waste - just a greased baking tray is fine.

    Ebony251:

    You could take out the kidney beans but you would need to replace them with something else as this is the main component of the dish. If you left them out completely it would be too runny.

  • Absolutely delicious!...

    Submitted by toni5623 on 8. February 2018 - 18:09.

    Absolutely delicious!
    If you enjoy Mexican food, you are going to love this.
    The first time I made this, for a casual Sunday night dinner, I followed the recipe to a T...except for the number of garlic cloves (a bit hard to know how many you really need as ingredients list doesn’t match instructions) so I used 2 in the first part and another 2 in the second part. Smile
    I made it in a 20cm springform cake tin and cut the bread to fit the tin.
    I also added some of the cheese mixture to each layer.
    Everyone in my family loved it!

    The next time I made it for a vegetarian who was coming to dinner. He thought it was amazing.
    I only had 2 sheets of Lebanese bread left so used wholemeal wraps (which were a perfect size for the 20cm springform tin).
    That also worked.
    Thanks for a great recipe!
