  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and red pepper and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic, cumin, smoked paprika and chilli powder, then cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in kidney beans, black beans, sweetcorn, chopped tomatoes and tomato purée.
  4. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes until thick and spoonable, then season with salt and black pepper.
  5. Warm tortillas, divide the filling and cheese between them, then roll tightly into burritos.
  6. Optional: sear seam-side down in a dry hot pan for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden.
  7. Serve hot with lime wedges and optional toppings.

Notes

Cook the filling until thick so the burritos roll tightly and hold shape.

For extra texture, pan-sear the wrapped burritos for 1 to 2 minutes per side before serving.
