• 2 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 x 400g cans black beans, drained and rinsed
• zest 2 limes, then 1 juiced, the other cut into wedges to serve

Method

1. Heat the grill to High. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or so until soft. Add the garlic and sizzle for 30 secs more, then stir in the cumin and black beans. Cook for 5 mins until the beans start to pop and are hot through. Stir through the lime zest and juice, and season.
2. While the beans cook, put the tofu in a bowl and gently toss through the remaining oil, the paprika and some seasoning. Line a baking tray with foil and arrange the tofu on top. Cook under the grill for 5 mins each side until charred all over.
3. Heat the rice following pack instructions, then divide between bowls. Top with the beans, tofu, avocado, coriander and a wedge of lime. Add a few slices of chilli too, if you like it spicy.
