Hi all
I'm just cooking this recipe, which I found in the Australian edition of Men's Fitness in June 2012. I thought that I'd share it.
The plan is to freeze this to eat through the week. I'm going to add the kidney beans, spinach, coriander, lime and avocado when I'm heating it up and about to serve. Apologies to readers in the US and UK, as these measurements are metric.
I think that you could even subsitute the beef mince for turkey mince, to really get a protein hit. But this is dead easy to do and it smells great in our house right now.
