A hearty, classic spicy beef stew with a dollop of cashew sour cream and authentic totopos chips from La Tortilleria - simple and delicious!
1. Soak the cashews
Soak cashew mix in 1/3 cup water and 1 1/2 tbsp vinegar. Set aside.
2. Sauté the vegetables
Heat a large frypan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Dice celery, carrots and capsicum. Add to pan as you go. Slice spring onions (reserve tops for garnish) and add to pan along with crushed garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
3. Add the mince & simmer
Add beef mince, 1/2 tsp chilli flakes, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp cumin and 1 crumbled stock cube. Cook for 5 minutes until browned. Pour in tomatoes and 1 tin (400ml) of water. Simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Prepare the toppings
Blend cashew mix together until smooth using a stick mixer or blender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Slice jalapeño and spring onion tops.
5. Finish and plate
Divide chilli con carne among bowls. Top with a dollop of cashew sour cream. Scatter over jalapeño and spring onion tops. Serve with totopos chips.
Notes
Stretch the dish out with kidney or black beans in the chilli con carne.
