Steps

  1. Prep & cook chilli. Heat oil in a medium fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic with a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until starting to soften. Add chilli spice mix and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  2. Add beef to pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking beef up as it cooks. Add tomato paste, corn, stock, salt and chilli (if using), bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 6-7 minutes, until sauce has thickened. Season and cover to keep warm.
  3. Prep & heat refried beans. Combine all refried bean ingredients in a small pot and heat gently until warm. Season and set aside, covered.
  4. Prep & assemble salsa. Whisk together oil, vinegar and mustard in a medium bowl. Add tomato, onion and capsicum to bowl with dressing. Toss to combine and season.
  5. To serve, arrange lettuce into bowls. Top with chilli and spoon over salsa. Dollop over sour cream and refried beans. Squeeze over lime wedges.
