  • 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
