Instructions
For the Fried Beans
Heat the oil in a frying pan and then add the onion. Fry until the onion starts to become see-through. Then, add the garlic and chilli and stir through for a further 2-3 minutes.
Add the beans and allow them to fry until they become crispy on the outside. Squish some of them down so they become a little bit mashed too. Finally, add the ground spices right at the end and stir through for 1 minute. Whilst the beans are frying, you can start making the pineapple salsa and guacamole.
You can keep these warm by putting the lid on the pan.
Pineapple Salsa
Chop the pineapple and tomatoes into similar sized chunks and mix together. Add the chopped chilli, lime juice, olive oil and chopped coriander and mix well.
Guacamole
Mash the avocado with the lime juice, leaving some chunky bits.
Add salt, pepper, chilli and coriander to your taste.
Rice, Corn & Tortillas
Cook the rice as per packet instructions.
To cook the corn - here's a short cut. Wrap each cob in a piece of kitchen paper and microwave for around 2-3 minutes each. Then, pop in the pan alongside the fried beans to char the edges of the corn.
