Bean stuffed Nachos

Ingredients

A) Mexican Bean Filling (use your previous bean recipe concept)

1. 1 tbsp oil
2. 1 small onion, finely chopped
3. 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
4. 1–1½ cups cooked red beans (or 1 can, drained & rinsed)
5. 1/3–1/2 cup tomato purée
6. Mexican spices (basic pantry):
7. chili powder (1 tsp to 1½ tsp)
8. cumin (1 tsp)
9. smoked paprika (optional, 1/2 tsp)
10. oregano (1/2 tsp)
11. salt + black pepper to taste

Keep it thick-ish so it doesn’t soak the wrappers.

C) Wrappers + Frying

1. Spring roll sheets (enough for ~6 pieces; typically 3 half-sheets per 6 pieces depending on size)
2. Neutral oil spray (for air fryer)

D) Serving

1. Vegan mayo
2. Bell peppers (thin sliced or chopped)

Detailed Recipe (Step-by-step)

1) Make the Mexican bean filling

1. Heat oil in a pan.
2. Sauté onion 3–4 minutes.
3. Add garlic 20–30 seconds.
4. Add tomato purée + spices; cook 30–60 seconds.
5. Add beans. Simmer 8–12 minutes until thick.
6. Set aside to cool slightly.

Goal: filling should be thick and scoopable, not watery.

2) Assemble the nacho bites

1. Take spring roll sheets and cut into halves.
2. Place one half-sheet on a clean surface.
3. Add a line/spot of:
4. bean filling
5. Fold like a simple “wrap/turn-in” shape (or roll) so it seals.
6. Repeat until you have about 6 pieces.

3) Air fry

1. Preheat air fryer to 180°C / 360°F for 3–5 minutes.
2. Lightly spray the bites with oil.
3. Air fry 8–12 minutes, until golden and crisp.
4. If needed, flip halfway for even browning.

4) Serve

1. Dip or drizzle with vegan mayo
2. Add bell peppers on the side (or sprinkle inside if you like crunch)

Nutritional Value (Estimated) — Portion: 6 pieces (1 serving)

Nutrition depends on wrapper brand/size and how much filling/cheese you use, so this is a reasonable estimate for a typical “6-piece” serving:

1. Spring roll sheets: ~6 small halves total
2. Bean filling: ~1 cup total across 6 pieces (or slightly less)
3. Cheesy melt: ~1/3–1/2 cup total across 6 pieces
4. Vegan mayo: ~1–2 tbsp per serving
