If someone tells you that a chilli is something that takes hours to knock together, then they’ve clearly never made our super speedy Mexican chilli. Bursting with more flavour than you can shake a stick at, here’s a twenty minute dish that defies time and delivers on taste. Pile the chilli over bowls of rice and top with a generous dollop of zesty sour cream and fresh, peppery coriander. Delicious!
