Method

Heat the grill to high. Combine the black beans, chipotle paste, two thirds of the sweetcorn, half the cheese and half the red peppers in a bowl. Mash together roughly using a potato masher or fork, then season with plenty of lime juice and a little salt.
Divide the black bean mixture evenly among the tortilla wraps. Fold the sides
of each wrap towards the centre, then roll up tightly to form a parcel. Arrange the wraps, folded-side down, in a microwave and ovenproof baking dish and brush with the vegetable oil.
Mix together the remaining sweetcorn, cheese and red peppers in a bowl with the lime zest and a squeeze of juice. Season to taste and sprinkle over the wraps.

Microwave the whole baking dish on high for 5 minutes, then immediately transfer to the grill and cook for a further 5 minutes until golden and heated through.
Spoon over the guacamole and soured cream, sprinkle over the coriander leaves and serve with the lime wedges.
