Beef Chilli Con Carne with Mexican Rice

What is it?

Beef and kidney beans sit in a chilli sauce alongside Mexican-spiced rice, with cumin, coriander and lime running through the grains. It's a frozen meal format, built for the microwave, and the rice isn't just plain steamed filler. Each grain picks up the spice mix, so it holds its own next to the saucy beef and bean component. Compared with other chilli con carne meals, this one leans on the side dish a bit more. Dineamic's chef-prepared range tends to treat the whole tray as one dish, so the rice gets as much attention as the beef and beans. Expect a medium heat level, with earthy cumin and bright lime cutting through the richness of the mince.
