Cooking Instructions and Tips
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, halve the pepper and remove the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Once the mince is browned, add the sliced pepper, Mexican style spice mix and garlic to the pan and cook for 2-3 mins.
Add the tomato passata, water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount) and beef stock paste. Stir and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is thick, 10-12 mins, stirring occasionally. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve.
Halfway through simmering, stir the beans into the beef mixture.
While the sauce thickens, trim and thinly slice the spring onion.
When everything is cooked, taste and season the beef mixture with salt and pepper if needed.
Share the wedges between your plates, then top with the beef - wedges loaded!
Scatter with the cheese and spring onion to finish.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: A well-spiced, hearty chilli that most find satisfying without being too hot; some feel it could use a little more kick or depth.
- Ease of prep: Straightforward to follow and quick to pull together, making it a reliable choice for busy weeknights or family cooking.
- Suggestions: Add jalapeños, fresh chilli, or extra spice to taste; a spoonful of instant coffee and a square or two of dark chocolate can add real depth to the sauce. Reducing the water slightly — around 50ml rather than the full amount — can help the sauce thicken more reliably, and cooking the wedges in an air fryer speeds things up nicely.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers reheat well and work great served over rice or on a jacket potato for lunch the next day.
- Serving ideas: Soured cream, guacamole, or sliced avocado make natural accompaniments; swapping the wedges for tortilla chips or serving alongside rice are popular alternatives.
- Vegetables: A side salad or some added greens rounds the dish out well; stirring in extra peppers, mushrooms, or chopped tomatoes boosts both colour and nutrition.
