Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Heat a large, deep non-stick pan over a medium-high heat with the oil. Add the onion, garlic and peppers with a pinch of salt and cook for 5–7 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the chipotle paste (skip or halve the quantity if you prefer less heat) and fajita seasoning until the veg is coated.

  3. Step 3

    Add the rice, tomatoes, vegetable stock pot, 400ml water and black beans. Mix well, bring to a simmer and cook for 18 mins, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked through and tender.

  4. Step 4

    Season to taste, then remove from the heat. Scatter over the grated cheddar, cover and leave to stand for 5 mins until melted.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon onto plates and serve with the Tex-Mex dip selection alongside.
