Change up your usual stuffed red caps with this recipe! Stuffed with chorizo and vibrant spicy rice, it's like a mix between a naked enchilada and Nachos.

INGREDIENTS:

• 5 red capsicums
• 1 small red onion finally diced
• 200g chorizo, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp Mexican spice mix (Spice and Co)
• Pinch sea salt
• 2 packets of Tilda spicy Mexican basmati rice
• 2 handfuls tasty cheese grated
• 200g corn chips
• Olive oil for cooking

For the avocado salsa:

• 1-2 avocado

• 1 lime juiced

To serve:

• Fresh jalapeños thinly sliced
• Coriander leaves

METHOD:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°
