Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook garlic, onion and green peppers, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes, or until softened. Add spice mix, tomatoes, tomato paste, beans and water. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until sauce is thickened and reduced. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Put some chilli beans along the middle of each tortilla, sprinkle it with 2 tbsp. of the cheese and roll it up. Put 3 rolls, seam-side down, on a double layer of foil and seal the foil to form a parcel.

Preheat a barbeque to medium direct heat and grill the parcels for 6-8 minutes on each side or until they are heated through.

Unwrap the foil parcels and slide tortillas onto serving plates. Top them with the sour cream to serve.
