Method

  1. 1

    Cook the rice according to packet instructions. While it cooks, slice the courgettes and peppers into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Heat a large griddle or frying pan until very hot. Toss the courgettes, peppers and frozen sweetcorn with olive oil and fajita spice mix.

  3. 3

    Cook the vegetables in the hot pan for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until charred and tender.

  4. 4

    Drain and rinse the kidney beans and add to the pan for the last 2 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Fluff the rice with a fork, squeeze over the lime juice, and divide between four bowls. Top with the charred fajita vegetables and scatter with fresh coriander.
