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.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    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.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    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.

    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.

    Roid10: did you just cook the mince separately and add the cooked mince too the layers or did you add uncooked mince at a particular step?

  • 23. August 2020 - 14:12

    Michelle1974: hi Michelle. At what step did you add the mince? How much mince?
