• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Drain the sweetcorn. Drain and rinse 1/2 the red kidney beans. Roughly chop tomato and herbs. Slice lemon into wedges. Thinly slice onion.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are “popping” out.
• SPICY! The spice blend is mild, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add beef mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add red kidney beans and Louisiana spice blend and cook, stirring, until coated and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add enchilada sauce, the brown sugar and remaining butter and simmer until heated through, 1-2 minutes.
• To the bowl with the charred corn, add tomato, herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to combine and season to taste.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with saucy beans. • Top with charred corn salsa, shredded Cheddar cheese and sour cream. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
