Loaded with cumin, paprika and chilli, our Mexican Fiesta spice blend really amps up the flavour of this comforting chilli. Roasting the veg brings out their natural sweetness, and once you've cooked rice with garlic and plant-based butter, you'll never want to make it any other way.

½ cup

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot and capsicum into bite-sized chunks. • Place prepped veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, melt the plant-based butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. Add jasmine rice. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat. • Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, finely chop brown onion. Roughly chop cucumber. Drain and rinse black beans. Set aside. • Drain sweetcorn. Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. • Transfer charred corn to a medium bowl. Add cucumber and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Toss to combine. Season to taste.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion until tender, 4-5 minutes. • SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot. Add less if you're sensitive to heat. Add Mexican Fiesta spice blend, tomato paste and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium. Add vegetable stock powder, the water (for the sauce) and black beans and cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.
• Stir through roasted veggies. • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with black bean and roast veggie chilli, corn and cucumber salsa and corn chips (see ingredients). • Sprinkle with pickled jalapeños (if using) and torn coriander. • Serve with a dollop of plant-based smokey aioli. Enjoy!
TIP: Jalapeños are spicy! Add less if you're sensitive to heat, or leave them out, if preferred.
