For a delicious, healthy and high protein vegan friendly snack, these Chilli-Bean Mini Pittas are perfect. Stuff your pitta breads, wraps, sandwiches or simply enjoy on its own, this easy chilli-bean filling is packed with goodness and a quick meal fix for those times when you’re short of time.

This recipe is full of veggies including red, green and yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes and sweetcorn, so you can enjoy a new favourite healthy snack. To make these Chilli-Bean Mini Pittas even more quick and easy, you can use ready cooked kidney beans as long as they don’t have nasty preservatives.

This kidney bean filling is a little hot from the chilli powder, so for the kids I used paprika instead of chilli and they just loved it!
