Cooking Instructions
Get the potatoes going
- Heat your oven to 220ºC/fan 200ºC/gas 7/air fryer 190ºC.
- Halve the potatoes lengthways and score a diamond pattern into the cut sides, making sure you donʼt slice all the way through to the skin.
- Spritz the potatoes with cooking spray, put them cut-sides down on a baking tray lined with baking paper (or into the air-fryer basket) and roast for 35-40 mins (air-fry for 25-30 mins).
Ace the base
- Meanwhile, peel and finely dice the onions, and deseed the peppers and dice into 2cm squares.
- Spritz a non-stick saucepan with cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Tip in three-quarters of the onions, the peppers and garlic paste, and cook for 6-8 mins.
Sizzle the mince
- Add the mince, spice mix and tomato purée to the pan. Stir well, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon, and cook for 3-4 mins.
- Crumble in the stock, add the chopped tomatoes and 100ml water (150ml for 4 potions) and stir well. Lightly season and simmer for 8-10 mins (10-12 mins for 4 portions) until slightly thickened.
Itʼs salsa time!
- Roughly chop the coriander, and drain the sweetcorn.
- Ina small bowl, combine the remaining onions with the coriander and sweetcorn. Lightly season to taste with salt and mix well.
Stack your jackets
- Top the baked potatoes with a generous helping of chilli beef. Spoon over the sweetcorn salsa and add a swirl of yogurt.
