I believe the answer is:

baked beans

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tinned food' is the definition.
'baked beans' can be an answer for 'food' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'tinned' bit.

'english into battered kebabs and' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'battered' is an anagram indicator.
'kebabs'+'and'='kebabsand'
'kebabsand' is an anagram of 'bakdbeans'.
'e' put within 'bakdbeans' is 'BAKED BEANS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for baked beans that I've seen before include "Full English breakfast essential?" , "food campers might have" , "veg too" , "Haricots in tomato sauce" , "Tinned vegetables" .)
