RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
SAUCY MINCE
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Add the corn and fry until lightly golden, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the sliced spring onions, the tomato paste, and the taco spice. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in 100ml of water, the rinsed beans, and simmer until reduced and slightly thickening, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and season.
AVO
Halve the avocado and set aside half for another meal. Peel the skin off, keeping the flesh intact. Thinly slice the avocado.
