Cooking Steps

1
1

In a medium saucepan, add the brown rice and water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until the rice is soft, 25-30 minutes. Drain the rice. Melt the plant-based butter over a medium heat, and add the garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Return the rice to the saucepan, add the salt and stir to combine. Remove from the heat.

While the rice is cooking, roughly chop the red onion and tomato. Slice the avocado in half, scoop out the flesh and roughly chop. Drain and rinse the red kidney beans.

Spicy! You may find the spice blend hot. Add less if you're sensitive to heat.

When the rice has 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the onion until tender, 3-5 minutes. Add the Mexican Fiesta spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Add the beans, enchilada sauce, brown sugar and a splash of water. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
