Method
- Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan on a medium heat. Fry the beef, onions and chorizo for 5 mins, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon, until the mince has browned and the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, rice and green beans. Use the tomato tin to add 2 tins of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-12 mins, stirring occasionally, until the rice is just tender. Stir in the chilli beans and heat through for 2-3 mins.
- Season to taste, then spoon onto plates. Serve with bowls of grated cheese, coriander leaves and yogurt to serve.
