Preparation
1
Cook the Rice

a) Boil a full kettle.
b) When boiling, pour the water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and ground cumin and cook for 10-12 mins.
c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

2
Fry the Beef

a) Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on high heat (no oil).
b) Once the pan is hot, add the beef mince and cook until browned, 4-5 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

3
Get Prepped

a) Meanwhile, halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
b) Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a sieve.

Simmer and Spice

b) Stir in the Mexican style spice mix, chopped tomatoes and beef stock paste.
c) Add the kidney beans and water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount) and bring to the boil.
d) Lower the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Say Cheese
