To serve

  • Avocado
    mashed so its creamy not lumpy
  • 1tbsp Natural yoghurt
  • A pinch of grated cheese
  • Squeeze of Lime juice
  • Brown rice

    Method

    • step 1

      Warm a glug of olive oil in a small pan and add the beef mince and garlic. Stir it around for a couple of minutes to ensure the meat becomes brown all over.

    • step 2

      Add the black beans, paprika, cumin, tomato purée and sweet potato. Pour in the water/broth/stock and bring to a gentle simmer for 14–16 mins, mushing up the beans a bit with your stirring spoon.

    • step 3

      While your chilli is cooking, mix up a batch of Baby guac or just fork-mash a quarter avocado.

    • step 4

      When the chilli is cooked, heap some into bowls and allow to cool slightly before topping each with your guac/smashed avo, a teaspoon of plain yoghurt and some grated cheese. Squeeze of lime, party time.

    • If you’re serving this with rice, you can have it boiling away while you’re preparing the chilli, so everything’s ready at once.
    • Add chilli and salt to the adults portions if you want more of a kick.
    • This freezes beautifully if you fancy a bit of batch-cooking.
