Servings 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 450 g mince beef (Under 10% fat ideally)
  • 1 mug brown rice (Covers two people)
  • 1 tin red kidney beans
  • 2 tins chopped tomatoes (The best quality you can)
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 half red onion
  • 1 tub sour cream
  • 1 chilli sauce (optional)
  • 1 bag tortilla chips
  • 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Chop all of your vegetables finely and place to one side

  2. Add a drop of olive oil to a large saucepan and add your mince, brown

  3. Ensure to break up your mince finely whilst it cooks

  4. Once browned - remove juices and add in your vegetables to the pan

  5. Add in your Chilli Con Carne Schwartz seasoning and mix with your meat until combine

  6. Heat and soften the vegetables for a few minutes then mix and combine all of the ingredients

  7. Drain and rinse your kidney beans and add to the pan

  8. Add in your two cartons of chopped tomatoes and combine all of the ingredients

  9. Leave to simmer for as long as you can - an hour is reccomended, the longer the deeper the flavours develop, ensure to keep mixing the ingredients every 5-10 minutes

  10. Once most of the liquid has evaporated and the water layer has gone, boil a kettle of water for your rice. Turn off your chilli from the heat and leave with the lid on to keep hot.

  11. Cook your rice as per the instructions - foolproof brown rice is one mug for two people, one full kettle in a pan, get up to boil and add in the rice once boiling. Mix the rice once, leave for 20-25 minutes without a lid and take off the layer of 'startch' on top with a spoon. Test at 20 minutes and drain to serve.

  12. Whilst your rice is cooking, chop some chilli, put sour cream in a dish, tortillas in a bowl and any extra sauces you may wish to add on the side. Chop a lime in quarters to garnish.

  13. Serve by placing rice down first, then chilli. Serve with dips on the side and garnish with a lime wedge.
