Sprinkle bean mixture with cheeses. Transfer pan to oven and bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is golden.
Tip
Chipotle chilli in adobo sauce can be found in most supermarkets and delicatessens – this La Morena Mecican Chipotle Peppers in Adobo can be found in most supermarkets. If you’re unable to find it, simply use 2tsp smoked paprika and 1/2 teaspoon of ground chilli instead.
Substitution
Not keen on pumpkin? Swap it out and use kumara or potatoes instead.
