Ingredients:

1 tablespoon oil

500 g (1.1lb) minced beef (10-15% fat)

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 onion peeled and finely diced

1 red bell pepper deseeded and finely diced

1 yellow bell pepper deseeded and finely diced

3 cloves minced garlic peeled and minced

3 tablespoons Fajita seasoning mix

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 beef stock cube crumbled

2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce - I use Franks hot sauce

2 tablespoons tomato puree (paste in USA)

400 g (14oz) jar passata

400 g (14oz) tin black beans drained

1 tablespoon light brown sugar

120 ml (½ cup) water

150 g (1 ½ packed cups) grated mixed cheese (I use a mixture of cheddar and red Leicester)

To serve:

Boiled rice

Finely chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)

Sliced jalapeños

Chopped avocado

Chopped baby tomatoes

Instructions

1. Add the oil to a frying pan (skillet) over a med-high heat

2. Add the minced beef, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes until the beef is browned breaking up any large bits as you cook the beef.

3. Add the onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper and garlic and fry for a further 5 minutes, stirring often.

4. Add the fajita seasoning, smoked paprika, beef stock cube, hot sauce and tomato puree and cook for another 2 minutes stirring continuously.

5. Add the passata, black beans, sugar and water. Stir everything together, bring to a simmer, turn down the heat and cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.

6. Sprinkle on the cheese, place a lid (or foil) on the pan and cook for a final 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt (if you don't have a lid, just cook for a couple of minutes longer, or you can place under a grill/broiler if your pan is grill-proof.

7. Serve over boiled rice, topped with a sprinkling of fresh coriander. I like to top with sliced jalapeños, avocado and chopped tomatoes too.

Notes

Note: I'm not adding much salt at the beginning as there is salt in the stock cube and in the fajita seasoning
