Are you looking to add some Tex-Mex excitement to your dining table? Look no further than Stuffed Tortillas! This vibrant and mouthwatering dish brings together juicy sausages, a zesty kidney bean salsa, and a medley of fresh ingredients, all wrapped in warm tortillas. It’s a fiesta of flavours that’ll transport your taste buds to culinary bliss.

The star of this recipe is the homemade salsa – an irresistible blend of charred red peppers, canned red kidney beans, ripe tomatoes, chopped onion, garlic, and a refreshing splash of lime juice. The addition of fresh basil infuses a delightful herbaceous note, perfectly complementing the smoky sweetness of the red peppers.

To prepare the dish, start charring the red peppers under a grill until their skins turn blackened and charred. Seal them in a bag to soften, then peel and chop them into small pieces before adding them to the kidney bean mixture.

While the salsa marinates, grill the sausages until cooked through and sizzling with flavour. Warm the tortillas in a non-stick frying pan; you’re almost ready for the assembly!
