A delicious and healthy deconstructed Mexican beef bowl, this recipe is sure to tick all the boxes. The mince packs the perfect flavour punch with just the right amount of spice. We love adding the coriander stalks to the mince for an extra depth of flavour. Utilise seasonal veges and don’t hold back on adding any that need to be used up from your fridge.

Stir through until well combined and bring to a gentle simmer.
Lower the heat and add the corn.
Season to taste and leave to simmer for 15 minutes. Cover with a lid to prevent the mixture from drying out.
Divide the mince into four serving bowls with the cooked brown rice, chopped cherry tomatoes, black beans, capsicum and mashed avocado.
Top with coriander and sliced red chilli, and drizzle with chipotle mayo for an extra flavour burst.
Serve alongside corn chips for dipping into the mince and lime wedges for extra flavour.
