Method
- To make the chilli, in a large preheated saucepan add the olive oil followed by the onion, garlic, chilli, squash and pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes whilst stirring. To the pan add all of the spices. Sauté for a further 3 minutes.
- Add some salt and pepper, then the 2 tins of chopped tomatoes. Pop the lid on and turn the heat down low. Allow to simmer for 12 minutes, stirring every now and then.
- After 10 minutes add the chickpeas, beans, sweetcorn and coriander. Then give it a taste and check if it needs additional seasoning or spice. If you like your chilli slightly more spicy, add a teaspoon more cayenne pepper.
- Simmer for 6-8 more minutes or until the squash is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, to make the smashed avocado, add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl and mash together using a fork.
- For the salsa, simply mix everything together in a small mixing bowl.
- Build your burrito bowl in your Chilly’s food pot, layer by layer. I serve mine with vegan sour cream, tortilla chips and brown rice. Enjoy!
