Method

  1. Cook the rice to pack instructions. Meanwhile, mix the onion and the juice of ½ lime together in a small, non-metallic bowl. Set aside for 20 mins until bright pink, then drain.

  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Toss the chicken-style pieces with the garlic, paprika and cumin seeds and cook to pack instructions until piping hot. Remove from the heat and squeeze over the juice of ½ lime.

  3. Slice the avocado and squeeze over the juice of ½ lime. Divide the rice between 4 bowls and top with the sweetcorn, pepper, tomato, lettuce, chicken-style pieces, pickled red onions, fresh coriander and Cheddar-alternative. Serve with the remaining lime, cut into wedges to squeeze over.
