Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onions for 6-8 mins until soft. Stir in the chillies, paprika and garlic, and fry for 1-2 mins until fragrant. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, stock and sugar. Simmer for 10 mins.

  2. Meanwhile, mix the black beans, spring onions and pecorino in a bowl. Divide the mix between the wraps, piling it onto one half of the circles. Fold the empty side over the fillings and press down well to seal.

  3. Heat a large, dry frying pan over a medium heat and fry the quesadillas, 1 or 2 at a time, for 2-3 mins either side until golden.

  4. Remove the soup from the heat and blend until very smooth. Add more chilli and a pinch more sugar if needed. Stir in the yogurt, then divide between 4 bowls, topping each with an extra spoonful of yogurt. Cut the quesadillas into 3 triangles and serve alongside.
