Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together the achiote paste in a few tablespoons of boiling water to loosen it up.

Step 2

Sauté the onion and garlic in the oil until translucent and soft, with a pinch of salt. Add the tomatoes and achiote, and a bit more salt, and stir every now and then to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom. Add the carrot, beans and chickpeas, cayenne pepper, chilli and oregano. When cooked, about 15 minutes, crumble in the feta and stir through, and taste for seasoning before turning off the heat and stirring through the baby spinach. Serve with heated corn tortillas.
