Chilli is a classic for a reason - packed with flavour and so simple to make with mostly ingredients from the cupboard. This weeknight version is quick and simple - if you don’t have all the spices, just replace them with a packet of fajita seasoning from the supermarket.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large pot over a medium-low heat. Once hot, add the carrot, celery, onion, garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, for 15 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 2

Stir in the spices and dried herbs then tip in the chickpeas and their cooking liquid from the tin, the tomatoes, sugar and soy sauce. Stir together then bring up to the boil over a high heat. Turn the heat down and leave to simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened.

Step 3

Meanwhile, peel and deseed the avocado and place into a blender with the juice of a lime and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth for an avo crema. Alternatively, do this with a folk, in a bowl for a chunky version.

Step 4

Serve with tortilla wraps heated over a flame or in a dry frying pan until slightly golden, or with cooked rice which you should heat according to the packet instructions. Top with the avocado puree and a little chopped coriander.
