" This is a mild version which my children love - you can easily spice it up. I just add a few extra chilies on top. Enjoy. "

The Basics

• Dish: Main Course
• cuisine: Mexican
• Serves: 4-6
• Prep Time: 0hrs 15 mins
• Cooking Time: 2hrs 0 mins

Ingredients

• 500g Minced Beef
• 1 Large onion chopped
• 1 Clove garlic - chopped
• 1tsp Ground Coriander
• 2tsp Ground Cumin
• 1tsp Oregano
• 2tsp Paprika
• 3 Carrots grated
• 1 Tin chopped tomatoes
• 1-2 Tin Kidney beans

Method

1- Brown the mince and onions together in a pan, after around 10 minutes of gentle cooking, add the garlic, grated carrots and spices/seasonings. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add the chopped tomatoes.

2- Simmer over a low heat adding water to the pan as needed. At around 30 minutes towards the end of cooking, add your kidney beans, leave for the remaining 30 mins and add salt to taste.

Serve with plain rice.

If I have it in the fridge, I add some sour cream, grated cheese and Jalapeño peppers on top.

This is great left in the fridge for a day so that the flavours mellow. I also cook this in bulk and freeze portions, it keeps really well!
