1 packet

Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the basmati rice, the water and a pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, drain the sweetcorn (see ingredients). Finely chop the tomato. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves and coriander. Cut the chicken breast into 2cm-thick strips. In a medium bowl, combine the Tex-Mex spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Set aside.
Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. When the pan is hot, cook the sweetcorn, tossing, until lightly browned, 5 minutes. Transfer to a second medium bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.
Return the frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. Add the enchilada sauce (see ingredients) and stir until heated through and the chicken is coated, 1 minute.
Add the tomato and coriander to the charred corn. Add a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season and toss to combine.
Stir the baby spinach through the rice. Divide the garlic-spinach rice between bowls and top with the enchilada chicken. Spoon over any sauce remaining in the pan. Top with the charred corn salsa, shredded Cheddar cheese and Greek-style yoghurt to serve.
