Cooking Steps
Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir in the rice and ¼ tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.
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, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a sieve.
Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, add the plant-based burgers to the pan and use a spoon to break it up into a mince-like texture as it cooks. Cook until browned, 5-6 mins. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Ensure it's piping hot throughout.
Stir the garlic and chipotle paste into the burger mince. Fry for another 30 secs.
Stir in the passata, vegetable stock paste, kidney beans, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).
Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins.
Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks and pop into a small bowl.
Drizzle over a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper and mix together. Set the salsa aside.
Trim and thinly slice the spring onion. Grate the cheese.
Once the chilli's ready, season with salt and pepper and stir in the butter (see pantry for amount).
Remove from the heat.
When everything's ready, share the rice out between your serving bowls.
Spoon over the chilli non carne, then top with the tomato salsa and cheese.
Dollop on the smashed avocado and sprinkle over the spring onion to finish.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The chilli is warming and well-received as a meat-free dish; some find the flavour could use more spice, and adding something sour like lime juice to the salsa is worth considering.
- Ease of prep: Straightforward to put together, though breaking down the burgers into mince in the pan takes longer than expected; air frying them first is one approach that speeds things up.
- Suggestions: Use a dedicated meat-free mince rather than crumbled burgers for a more even texture and flavour. If the chilli feels too rich, consider skipping or reducing the butter at the end.
- Next-day meals: Opinions on the plant-based burgers used as mince are strongly divided, so if you are unsure, substituting a standard veggie or Quorn mince may suit your preference better.
