1.5 cup

(Contains: Milk;)
• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat.
• Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice red onion (see ingredients). • In a small bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Scrunch sliced onion in your hands, then add it to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover onion. Set aside.
• Slice avocado in half and scoop out flesh. Slice lemon into wedges. • In a medium bowl, mash avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil until smooth. Season to taste and set aside.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. • Cook beef mince (no need for oil!), breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add Tex-Mex spice blend and tomato paste, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water (for the beef), and simmer until slightly thickened, 1 minute. Season to taste.
• While the beef is cooking, finely chop tomato. • In a medium bowl, combine tomato with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season.
• Drain pickled onion. Bring everything to the table. • Build your own plate with rice, Tex-Mex beef, guacamole, pickled onion, zingy tomato, Cheddar cheese and sour cream. • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. • If you've selected an add on bundle, serve with tortillas or roasted corn cobs. Enjoy!
