Nutrition per serve

Ingredients

• 150g basmati rice
• 10g Tex-Mex seasoning
• 1pcs avocado
• 2pcs tomato
• 2clov garlic
• 380g black beans
• 50g shredded cheese mix
• 50g sweet chilli sauce
• 5ml white wine vinegar
• 15ml vegetable oil
• 30ml mayonnaise

Method

1. Step 1 — Cook rice
   Check your avocado is ripe before starting this recipe (see Cooking tip). Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Put in a small saucepan with half the Tex-Mex seasoning and 250ml (1 cup) water, cover and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 12 mins or until tender and the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and stand, covered, for 5 mins. Fluff the rice with a fork.
2. Step 2 — Prep ingredients
   Meanwhile, coarsely chop the avocado and tomatoes. Crush or finely chop 2 garlic cloves. Drain and rinse the beans. Put the avocado, tomato and 1 tsp white wine vinegar in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and gently stir to combine. Preheat the grill to high. Grease a 1L (4 cup) baking dish.
3. Step 3 — Make fried rice
   Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a medium deep frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the beans, stirring, for 4 mins or until warmed through. Add the garlic and remaining Tex-Mex seasoning and cook, stirring, for 30 secs or until fragrant. Stir in the rice and 2 tsp vegetable oil and cook for 2 mins or until well combined. Remove the pan from the heat.
4. Step 4 — Melt cheese
   Season the fried rice with salt and pepper. Transfer to the baking dish and scatter over the cheese. Grill for 4-5 mins until the cheese is golden and melted. While the fried rice is grilling, put 2 tbs mayonnaise in a bowl. Add the sweet chilli sauce and stir until lightly rippled. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Step 5 — Serve up
   Divide the cheesy fried rice and avocado salsa among bowls and drizzle with the sweet chilli mayo. Or put everything on the table for everyone to help themselves. Enjoy!
6. Step 6 — Kitchen hack
   If your mayonnaise is too thick to drizzle, simply stir in 1 tsp water to make a thinner consistency.
