Add spices and cook for another minute, stirring all the while.

Add dried oregano, tomato and stock- bring to the boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

For a nice garnish I sliced up a couple of the tortillas into 5mm strips, sprayed with olive oil, sprinkled with some tumeric and baked on high heat for around 10 mins- turning once.
