Ingredients
- Lamb mince 500g
- Bell peppers (mixed colours) 2
- Red onion 1
- Garlic cloves 2
- Olive oil 1 tbsp
- Fajita seasoning 1 sachet (approx. 30g)
- Lime 1
- Rice (e.g., basmati or brown) 200g dry weight
- Avocado 1
- Salsa 150g
- Fresh coriander small bunch
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Method
- Cook the rice according to packet instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork.
- While the rice cooks, prepare the vegetables: slice the bell peppers into strips and thinly slice the red onion. Mince the garlic.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over a medium-high heat. Add the lamb mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned all over. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the sliced peppers and onion to the pan with the lamb. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and the fajita seasoning. Add a splash of water (about 50ml) if the mixture looks dry, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the seasoning has coated everything and is fragrant.
- Squeeze the juice from half the lime over the lamb and vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice between four bowls. Top with the lamb and vegetable fajita mix.
- Halve and de-stone the avocado, then slice or dice it. Add the sliced avocado, salsa, and a generous sprinkle of fresh coriander to each bowl. Serve with the remaining lime wedges for squeezing over.
