Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Water for the Rice
Preheat your oven to 220°C. Pour the water for the rice (see ingredients for amount) into a large saucepan and bring to the boil. When boiling, add a pinch of salt, stir in the rice, lower the heat to medium and pop a lid on the pan. Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Meanwhile, halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into small pieces. Grate the cheddar cheese. Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a sieve. Cut each tortilla into eight triangles.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausage meat and fry until browned, 5 mins. Use a wooden spoon to break it up while it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Add the red pepper to the pan and cook, stirring, until it starts to soften, another 5 mins.
Add the smoked paprika, diced tomatoes, stock powder and water for the chilli (see ingredients for amount) to the pan. Stir to dissolve the stock powder. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the sausage meat is cooked through, 10-12 mins. iIMPORTANT: The sausage meat is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.
Place the tortilla triangles on a baking tray in a single layer and drizzle over a little oil. Season with salt and pepper. Pop on the top shelf of your oven and bake until golden and crisp, 4-5 mins. TIP: You may need to do this in batches, keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn!
Taste the chilli and add more salt and pepper if needed. Add the kidney beans and continue to a simmer until piping hot. tTIP: If there are any bean-haters, keep some of the chilli bean-free and serve them first. Share the rice between your bowls and top with the chilli . Finish with a dollop of soured cream and sprinkle over the cheese. Serve the tortilla chips on the side for scooping purposes. Enjoy!
