Remove the vegan chicken from the pan and set it to one side.

1 whited onion, 1 red pepper, 100 g sweetcorn, 4 tomatoes, 400 g tinned black beans, 200 g salsa, 200 ml vegetable stock, 1 green pepper
Stir the ingredients together and allow to simmer for 5 minutes unil the sauce has thickened and reduced. Then, add the rice and return the vegan chicken to the pan.
220 g packet Mexican rice
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then sprinkle over the cheese.
30 g cheddar cheese or mozzarella
Place the lid on the pan for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted, then top with the fresh cilantro, avocado, and some of this creamy jalapeno sauce.
If you are using packet Mexican rice as suggested, keep in mind that it should not be reheated again so is not suitable for storing as leftovers.If you want to make a bigger batch and have leftovers, I would recommend using dry white rice and doubling the amount of stock you use - or cooking your rice separately.
