Spices

  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes

Instructions
 

  • Chop the chicken into cubes. Season with salt, pepper, spices and crushed garlic.
  • Heat the oil in the pan over medium-high heat, and fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes. Add in the chopped onion and diced peppers and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Next, add the drained sweetcorn, beans and the cooked rice. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.

Notes

PRO TIP:
- To easily peel the tomato, cut a cross in the top of the tomato (not the stalk end) and pour boiling water over it.  After about 1 minute, the skin will come off easily.
