PORK CHILLI BURRITO BOWL
😀 SERVES 2 🧭 15 MINS👌512 CALS
This is the sort of dinner I make when it’s dark by six and I still want something with a bit of kick. The pork cooks quickly and takes on a proper smoky depth from the chipotle and tomato paste, while the fresh tomato salsa keeps things light against all that warmth. Pile it over rice with a scattering of cheese and you’ve got a bowl that feels generous but isn’t a faff. It’s ready in 15 minutes, with 40g protein per serving, so it earns its place on a busy autumn weeknight.

INGREDIENTS
120g (1 cup) basmati rice
250g (9oz) minced (ground) pork 5% fat
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 heaped tsp chipotle paste
1 heaped tsp garlic paste
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp vegetarian stock powder
2 tomatoes
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp cider vinegar
30g (1oz) cheddar cheese
METHOD
STEP 1
Boil a half-full kettle.
Rinse the rice before adding to a large saucepan. Pour in boiled water, so you have approximately double the amount of water to rice.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 10-12 minutes (lid on).
STEP 2
Heat a large frying pan on a med-high heat.
Once hot, add the minced pork. Season generously with salt and pepper. Fry until the mince has browned, 5-6 mins, breaking it up as it cooks.
STEP 3
Turn the heat down to low, then stir in the tomato, chipotle and garlic pastes. Add the sugar.
Add 100ml water and the stock powder, then simmer for 3-4 minutes.
STEP 4
Meanwhile, roughly chop the tomatoes and put in a small bowl. Add the olive oil and cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, stir and set aside.
Grate the cheese.
STEP 5
Share the rice between your bowls.
Top with the pork chilli, tomato salsa and grated cheese
