Mexican Chilli Sin Carne Bowl

While the rice is cooking, finely chop the red onion. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out any excess moisture with your hands. TIP: Squeezing out the moisture in the zucchini will stop the sauce from becoming watery in step 4. Drain and rinse the red kidney beans. Deseed and finely chop the long red chilli (if using). TIP: Make sure you remove the seeds and white pith when deseeding the chilli. The pith is actually the hottest part! If you like heat, leave it in for an extra kick.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, or until soft. Add the zucchini and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Add the mild Mexican spice blend and long red chilli (if using) to the pan with the onion and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. TIP: Some like it hot but if you don't, just hold back on the chilli. Stir through the red kidney beans, diced tomatoes and salt (use suggested amount) and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Peel the avocado and dice into cubes. Pick the coriander leaves.
