Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a medium saucepan until hot, tip in the onion and let it sizzle and turn golden (4-5 minutes) as you stir occasionally. Add the mince and cook until it’s no longer pink, stirring to break it up and scraping the bottom of the pan so it doesn't stick. If it does, add a splash of oil.

  • step 2

    Tip the tomatoes into the mince, then fill the can with water and pour this in. Add the tomato purée, give it all a good stir and let it come to the boil. Simmer, covered, for 25 minutes to cook the mince through.

  • step 3

    Stir in the rice from both packets and let it heat through gently, then stir in the parsley. Serve with tortilla chips.

RECIPE TIPS
MEXICAN RICE

Discovery Mexican Rice, is a blend of cooked spicy rice and beans that just needs heating up, available at most major supermarkets. If you can’t get hold of it, use same weight packs of precooked basmati rice perked up with ½ tsp of chilli powder and a small drained can of kidney beans.

Incredibly simple and delicious! A nice change. I added a dollop of Greek yoghurt to finish. I adapted it for one person which was super easy really. (Handful of pork mince, half a tin of tomatoes, half an onion, handful of tacos.)

question

Can this be made and kept in the fridge for re-heating or even frozen?

Hi, The rice in this will continue to absorb liquid one it's cooked so you'll end up with a different texture if you leave it to reheat, if you don't mind that then you can do so. The same would apply to freezing, the texture will be different. Lulu

I made this using turkey mince, adding kidney beans and some extra chilli, and served with grated cheese on top, with nachos and some French bread to the side. It was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be cooking this again. It was easy and tasty - a perfect combination!

This is a popular family meal in our household. Our 2 and 6 year olds love it. We like it best with Cool Original Doritos rather than plain tortilla chips.
