Cooking Steps

Cook the garlic rice
1

• 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. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

Get prepped & make the salsa
2

• While the rice is cooking, roughly chop tomato. Roughly chop coriander leaves. Drain sweetcorn. • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. In a large bowl, combine Tex-Mex spice blend (see ingredients), remaining garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then add chicken breast strips, tossing to coat. Set aside. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. • Transfer charred corn to a medium bowl. Top with tomato and coriander. Drizzle with olive oil. Season, then toss to coat. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are "popping" out

Make the crema & cook the chicken
3

• Slice avocado (see ingredients) in half, then scoop out the flesh. Transfer to a small bowl, then mash with a fork. Add light sour cream. Stir to combine, then season to taste. Set aside. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken breast strips in batches, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. TIP: For a smoother crema, use a food processor or stick blender. TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

Finish & serve
4

• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with Tex-Mex chicken, charred corn salsa and avocado crema. • Sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese. Enjoy! Little cooks: Show them how it's done by building the burrito bowls!
