Healthy benefits
Turkey mince, a low-fat alternative to beef mince, is rich in selenium and iron. It’s a good choice for a wintry chilli, as it’s rich in tryptophan, the protein needed to produce serotonin, the feel-good hormone.
Method
-
Heat the paste in a frying pan with a lid. When hot, add the mince and cook until browned, breaking it up well with a fork. Stir in the rice and beans, and mix well, then add the stock.
-
Cover and simmer for 20-25 mins until the rice is tender, then stir in the sweetcorn and scatter over the coriander. Heat the taco shells following pack instructions, then serve with the mince mixture, lettuce and soured cream. Let everyone build their own dinner, adding grated cheese and guacamole.
