Chris can't cook... yet! Chilli con carne

This time on Chris Can’t Cook… Yet! the boy tackles a gutsy chilli con carne with trimmings of home made cherry tomato & lime salsa and guacamole. But no kidney beans, I couldn’t persuade him that far!

Chilli con carne, salsa & guacamole

This recipe was created specifically for a Chris Can’t cook edition. It’s simple, yet amazing, with the addition of chorizo giving it an earthy, meaty boost. You can buy in your guacamole & salsa if you’re time pressed, but these little recipes for the classic chilli side dishes will only take you a few minutes.

Inspired by the sheer amount of times CCC still buys chicken katsu curry from Tesco (grrrr!), I decided to research and test a couple of ‘authentic’ recipes for myself for my tea last night. This recipe, based on one by Gizzi Erskine, tastes just as good as any I’ve eaten out and is super easy to make.
