1 packet
brown rice
200 g
sweet potato
1 unit
red capsicum
1 sachet
cumin paprika spice blend
½ tsp
chilli flakes
1 tin
red kidney beans
1 unit

1 unit
lime
1 tub
Greek-style yoghurt
(Contains: Milk;)
3 cup
water

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Rinse the brown rice well. Bring the rice and the water (use suggested 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, chop the potato (unpeeled) into 2 cm chunks. Slice the red capsicum into 1 cm thick strips. Slice the lime into wedges. Drain and rinse the red kidney beans. Dice the avocado into 1 cm cubes. TIP: Squeeze a small amount of lime juice over the avocado to stop it from browning. Roughly chop the coriander leaves.
Place the sweet potato and the red capsicum on the oven tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle over ½ of the cumin & paprika spice blend, ½ of the chilli flakes (if using) and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and place the tray on the top shelf of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
While the veggies are roasting, combine the Greek yoghurt and a squeeze of juice from the lime wedges in a small bowl. TIP: Add as much or as little lime juice as you like depending on your taste preference. Stir until the yoghurt thins out to a consistency that can be drizzled. Set aside.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the remaining cumin & paprika spice blend, the remaining chilli flakes (if using) and the red kidney beans and cook, stirring regularly, for 2 minutes, or until the spice is fragrant and the beans have warmed through. TIP: Some like it hot, but if you don’t just hold back on the chilli flakes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Divide the brown rice between bowls and top with the roasted vegetables, Mexican chilli beans and avocado. Sprinkle over the coriander and drizzle over the lime yoghurt. Serve any remaining lime wedges on the side.
