Ready in less than 25 minutes, this Tex-Mex Style Beef and Bean Chilli has it all. Spiced with flavours from chillies, cumin seeds, paprika and thyme, we're pairing this chilli with tostadas (meaning 'toasted') for dipping.
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.

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

a) Meanwhile, drain and rinse the mixed beans in a sieve.
b) Lay the tortillas onto a large baking tray in a single layer and rub each with a little oil. Season with salt and set aside.
c) When the mince has browned, stir the Mexican style spice mix, mixed beans, passata, chicken stock paste, honey and the water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) into the saucepan and bring to the boil.
a) Once the sauce is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover with a lid or some foil.
b) Simmer until the beef is cooked and the sauce has thickened, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Meanwhile, bake the tortillas on the top shelf of the oven until golden and crispy, 4-6 mins. TIP: Tostada means 'toasted', so make sure they're crispy!
a) When the beef chilli is ready, stir through the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted.
b) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
a) Share the beef chilli between your bowls. Drizzle over the soured cream.
b) Serve the tostada dippers alongside.
Enjoy!
