Sauce and beans regularly served in a fried tortilla (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tabasco

'sauce' is the definition.
(Tabasco is an example)

'beans regularly served in a fried tortilla' is the wordplay.
'regularly served' indicates alternate letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a fried tortilla' becomes 'taco' (I've seen this in another clue).
The alternating letters of 'beans' are 'bas'.
'bas' inserted into 'taco' is 'TABASCO'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for tabasco that I've seen before include "Hot sauce made from capsicums" , "A hot spicy sauce" , "Hot red sauce" , "Mexico state" , "ASBO Act (anag) - hot stuff!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
