On the table in less than 25 minutes, this Sweet Potato and Refried Bean Burrito Bowl is quick but still full of flavour. The combination of refried beans, roasted sweet potato, cheese and soured cream gives this rice bowl its Mexican inspired twist.
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.

d) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and tender, 16-18 mins.
a) Meanwhile, pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 0.25 tsp salt on high heat.
b) Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

d) Once hot, add the diced chicken and cook until browned all over, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat.
e) add the garlic, tomato puree and remaining Mexican style spice mix. Stir-fry for 30 secs, until fragrant.
a) Once fragrant, stir the water for the beans (see pantry for amount), veg stock paste and black beans (whole and crushed) into the garlic.
b) Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the bean mixture has thickened, 6-8 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle of the chicken.
a) While the beans simmer, grate the cheese.
b) Once the beans are ready, taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if they're a little too dry.
a) When ready, fluff up the rice with a fork and share between your bowls.
b) Top with the refried beans and roasted veg.
c) Add a dollop of soured cream, then scatter over the grated cheese.
Enjoy!
Step 3 MOD: If you’re adding chicken, add it to the pan before the garlic. Fry, 5-6 mins, then add the garlic and continue as instructed. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
