MEXICAN BEANS ON TOAST RECIPE ft TomSka - SORTED

# Mexican Beans on Toast: A Spicy Twist on a Classic Dish

Today, we’re diving into a fun and flavorful twist on a classic dish—beans on toast! Who doesn’t love a hearty serving of beans on toast? But today, we’re adding our own spin with some Mexican flair. We’re using kidney beans as the base, combining them with spicy peppers, onions, cheese, fajita spice, and of course, the perfect toasted bread. And yes, you read that right—we’re not forgetting the cult 1911 handgun! Well, Tom is here with us today, and he’s promised to keep all his guns away, hasn’t he? Uh-huh. So, let’s get started!

## Starting With the Basics: Onions and Peppers

First things first, we need to tackle the onions and peppers. If you’re anything like us, you’ll appreciate a good knife for this part. Tom, if you could take that pepper and give it a go, we’d love it. What we’re looking for are rough chunks—big enough to handle, but small enough to blend later on. Just remove the top and bottom of the pepper, slice down one side, and round off the rest. Easy peasy!

And while you’re at it, grab that bigger knife—if you’re going to do something, do it right. Once you’ve got your peppers prepped, let’s move on to the onions. A rough dice will work just fine here. Now, give us a glug of oil in the pan—no shooting allowed! Just a little heat to get those onions sweating and releasing their sweet aroma.

## Adding the Mexican Touch: Fajita Spice and Cheese

Tom, you’re quite the connoisseur when it comes to Mexican food, aren’t you? Well, we’ve got just the thing to kick things up a notch with some fajita spice mix. It’s packed with all the essentials—cumin, coriander, a hint of orange and lemon zest, plus a little kick of chili powder. We’re thinking this will add that perfect balance of smokiness and heat to our dish.

And let’s not forget the cheese! A semi-hard cheese with a bit of chili in it is just what we need for that extra oomph. It’s got a nice, gooey texture that’s sure to complement the beans beautifully. Plus, the kick comes in later, which adds that perfect little surprise to each bite.

## The Breadcrumb Secret: Toasting Your Bread

Now, here’s where things get a bit unconventional—bread! We’re not just talking about any bread; we’re talking about the whole thing—the crust, the crumb, everything. Rip up four slices and pop them into your blender. You’ll end up with fine crumbs that are going to bind everything together nicely.

## Blending for Perfection

With your bread crumbs ready, it’s time to get blending! Throw in a raw egg, some fresh coriander, the drained kidney beans, crumbled cheese, and a healthy dose of that fajita spice mix. A little pinch of chili powder or a dash of cayenne will ensure it’s just as hot as you like it. Blend everything up until you’ve got a coarse paste—rough enough to hold together but still full of texture.

## Baking for Crispy Perfection

Once your mixture is ready, spread it evenly over slices of toast. Make sure there’s an equal amount of bread and bean—slop it on! You want that perfect balance of crispy crust and soft, gooey center. Pop them into a hot oven at 200°C (about 400°F) for about 10 minutes until they’re golden and crispy.

## The Final Touches: Guacamole and Extra Chili

When it’s time to serve, you’ll have a dish that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious. Top it with plenty of guacamole for that extra creamy kick and a few whole chilies if you’re feeling spicy.

And there you have it—Mexican-inspired beans on toast! It’s all about balancing the smokiness of the fajita spices, the creaminess of the cheese, and the bold flavors of the kidney beans. Plus, who can resist a bit of humor along the way?

So, whether you’re a fan of classic comfort food or you’re looking to spice things up with some international flavors, this dish is sure to hit the spot. Don’t forget to give Tom a round of applause for keeping his hands clean—or should we say, gun-free—throughout the process!

Tom, it’s been a blast working with you today. Thanks for coming down, and if you want more where that came from, be sure to check out Tom’s channel. Otherwise, we’ll see you next time—with or without the 1911 handgun!
