Smoky beef bean chilli with torilla crisps
Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large pan. Mix the flour with the salt and pepper, and toss the beef to coat. Brown the beef in the pan, doing it in two batches to avoid crowding the pan.
Once all the pieces of beef are browned, add the tin of tomatoes, fill the tin back up with the equivalent quantity of water. Add the chipotle peppers and tomato paste, the treacle and simmer for 3-4 hours with the lid partially on. Do check if it is drying out (you want to do this on a low heat) and if so add a tbsp of water at a time. You want it to reduce down and become really sticky. Once the beef is super tender, it is ready. Taste the seasoning and add salt or pepper as required. Decant into a heat-resistant serving dish. Top with the grated cheese.
Turn the oven to 200c /180c fan. Cut the tortillas into segments using a pizza cutter, about the size of a tortilla chip. Brush with oil, spread out on a baking tray and place in hot oven to crisp up for about 15 minutes. Add the beans to the oven 5 minutes in, to melt the cheese ready for serving.
Remove the beans from the oven, scatter with the spring onions and serve with a few sprigs of coriander and either some jalapenos or your favourite pickles.
