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.

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Chop the sweet potato into 1cm chunks (no need to peel).
Pop the sweet potato 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 middle shelf until golden and tender, 23-25 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir in the rice and 0.25 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).
In the meantime, halve and peel the red onion and chop into small pieces.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and chorizo to the pan and stir-fry until the onion is softened, 4-5 mins.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the butter beans in a sieve.
Stir the Mexican style spice mix, veg stock paste, passata, butter beans, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) into the onion. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, 6-8 mins.
While the chilli simmers, cut each tortilla into 8 triangles (use scissors if easier, see ingredients for amount).
Place on a large baking tray in a single layer and drizzle with oil. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake on the top shelf of the oven until lightly golden brown and crisp, 4-6 mins. TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily.
Meanwhile, halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out onto a board. Cut into 1cm chunks.
When the chilli has finished simmering, remove from the heat. Add the roasted sweet potato and butter (see pantry for amount) and stir well.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
Fluff up the rice with a fork and share between your bowls. Spoon on the chilli.
Drizzle over the soured cream and add a spoonful of mashed avo.
Serve your baked tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
Enjoy!
