Ingredients
Serves: 4- 500g Chicken thighs
- 5g Cajun Spice or Similar
- 200g Rice (wholegrain or white works)
- 2 unit(s) Corn on the cob
- 300g Lettuce
- Guacamole
- 2 unit(s) Avacado
- 1g Limes
- 1 handful Coriander
- 4 unit(s) jalapenos (jarred)
- 1 unit(s) Red onion
- Refried Black Beans
- 800g Black Beans
- 1 half White onion
- 1 tsp Chipotle paste
- Mexican Salsa
- 6 whole tomatoes
- 1 handful coriander
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 half Red onion
- 4 whole Jalapeno slices from a Jar
Method
Debone chicken thigh and then rub on the spice mixture with some oil and leave to marinade for as long as possible
Then begin to cook the black beans (see recipe below)
While everything is cooking, make the guacamole and salsa (see below for recipe)
Once the rice is cooked take off the heat and leave to cool till the rest is ready
Now on a heated griddle, or frying pan , add oil and the chicken thighs, cook for 6 minutes each side (or till cooked through I use a temperature probe)
Once everything is cooked take the corn out the oven and cut it off the cob, then shred the lettuce
On 4 plates add the rice , chicken , black beans , salsa, guacamole, corn and lettuce
Now serve (I like to serve it with tortilla chips)
- Guacamole Method
Use a knife to cut around the avocado from top to bottom, twist and open. Then stab the stone with the full length of the blade, twist and pull.
Add this to a bowl with salt and lime juice and leave to sit while prepping other ingredients
Finely chop the coriander and dice the red onion
Mash the up the avocado and combine the other ingredients
- Refried Black Beans Method
Chop and fry onions in oil for approximately 10 minutes
Add tinned black beans with half the water from the tin
Add the chipotle paste and season
Simmer on the hob for 10 minutes on a medium heat until the beans have softened and then mash with a potato masher until about 50% are mashed
Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated (approximately 30 minutes) and season
- Mexican Salsa Method
Cut the tops off the tomato's and remove most of their seeds and juice
Cut them in to quarters and add into a blender
Add the coriander and the juice of the lime
Then add the oil and season with salt
Put in the jalapenos and a splash of their juice (this gives it its tangy flavour)
Finally, blend until it is at your desired texture and add to a bowl and leave in the fridge until ready to serve
