I love meals that can be whipped up quickly in the Thermomix! I love the flavours from my Taco Seasoning in this dish and as this makes a huge quantity. It's great for feeding a crowd!

6-8 people

Instructions
- Place all taco seasoning ingredients into a dish and mix well. Set aside.

- Wet and squeeze a sheet of baking paper. Line the upper layer of the varoma tray. Twist the corners of the paper to make a shallow ‘bowl’ shape and place chicken onto the baking paper ‘bowl’. Be sure to keep the side vents exposed so steam can circulate freely.

- Scrape down and sauté 5 mins / Varoma / speed 1 / Reverse / MC off.
- Add corn and kidney beans and cook 2 mins / Varoma / speed 1 / Reverse. Set aside in pre-warmed ThermoServer. No need to wash TM bowl.
- Place rice into simmering basket and rinse under tap until water runs clear.
- Place stock, tomato paste and boiling water into TM bowl. Insert simmering basket into TM bowl.
- Place assembled Varoma onto TM lid and cook 18 mins / Varoma / speed 1.
- While rice and chicken are cooking, roughly chop the coriander, finely zest the lime then cut it in half.
- Squeeze one half of lime over corn and bean mix in ThermoServer.
- Add cooked rice, coriander (set aside some for garnish) and lime zest into ThermoServer and combine well.
- Squeeze remaining half of lime over chicken.
- To serve, divide rice between plates. Place chicken onto rice and garnish with diced avocado, coriander and a dollop of sour cream.

Tania says
This is just so tasty and an awesome, easy, all in one meal that makes a large quantity. We enjoyed it the first night as is and then used the left overs the next night in a burrito wrap with salad as you suggested. Also made your salsa to go with it. Thumbs up all round. Will be a regular for sure. Thanks!
