Beef mince is such a versatile protein, and an ideal one for absorbing the bold flavours in this Mexican-inspired dish. Make sure not to skip the butter; it's key for mellowing out the acidity and spiciness of the chilli. A dollop of yoghurt also adds a lovely cooling factor, plus creaminess and tang.

• Finely chop garlic. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook cauliflower rice until softened, 2-4 minutes. • Add the salt, the butter(for the cauli rice) and 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm. • Roughly chop baby spinach leaves and tomato. Set aside
• Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. • SPICY! The spice blend is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat. Stir in Mexican Fiesta spice blend, tomato paste and remaining garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add black beans (including the tin liquid!), the brown sugar and the butter (for the sauce). Cook until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. Season to taste.
TIP: The black bean tin liquid helps season and thicken the chilli!
• Meanwhile, combine baby spinach, tomato and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl. • Season to taste.
• Divide cauliflower rice between bowls. Top with Mexican beef and black bean chilli. • Spoon over tomato-spinach salsa. Serve with a dollop of Greek-style yoghurt. Enjoy!
