Cooking Steps

Rinse the brown rice well. Bring the rice and the water (check ingredients list for the amount) to the boil in a medium saucepan over a high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, covered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is soft. Drain and return to the saucepan. Cover with a lid to keep warm.

While the rice is cooking, finely chop the brown onion. Drain and rinse the red kidney beans. Grate the zucchini.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the brown onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until soft. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 4-5 minutes, or until browned. Add the mild Mexican spice blend and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Add the red kidney beans, diced tomatoes, zucchini, red wine vinegar, sugar and salt (use suggested amount) to the pan with the beef. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. TIP: Letting chilli con carne simmer allows the flavours to deepen, making for a more delicious dish!

While the chilli is cooking, dice the avocado. TIP: Slice the avocado into cubes while still in the skin, then scoop the cubed flesh out with a spoon. Pick and finely chop the coriander leaves. Grate the Cheddar cheese.

Divide the brown rice and Mexican beans between bowls. Top with the avocado cubes, coriander and grated Cheddar.
