Cooking Steps

1

In a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice) and bring to the boil. Add the basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from the 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!

2

While the rice is cooking, finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the coriander. Zest lime to get a generous pinch, then cut into wedges. Scoop out the avocado flesh using a spoon into a medium bowl. Add a good squeeze of lime, a pinch of garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher or fork until you have a chunky guacamole. TIP: Add more or less lime juice or garlic to taste!

3

To a medium bowl, add the chicken thigh, Tex-Mex spice blend, the remaining garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat.

4

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thigh and cook until browned, 2 minutes each side. Add the enchilada sauce and water (for the sauce). Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir to combine, then cover with a lid. Cook until cooked through, 10-14 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a chopping board and shred using two forks. TIP: Feel free to slice the chicken if you prefer. Return the chicken to the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

5

Stir the coriander (reserve some for garnish!). lime zest and a generous pinch of salt through the rice. Roughly chop the tomato and cucumber. In a medium bowl, combine the tomato, cucumber, a pinch of salt and pepper and a squeeze of lime juice.

6

Divide the rice, pulled chicken and guacamole between plates with the cucumber and tomato on the side. Sprinkle with any reserved coriander and serve any remaining lime wedges on the side.
