This is a versatile dish as it can go with a side dish of corn chips (if you want to carry them in a sturdy container) and a small ration of cheese. You can also (carefully) carry an avocado to make “guacamole” for a topping. For the guacamole, carry a small container of a few tablespoons of sweet chilli sauce, smash up the avocado, add the sweet chilli sauce and mix through, easy hey! Also this mince dish can go with potato mash, cous cous, polenta or rice. Alone it has lots of flavour and is a great dish to make when the weather is getting cooler in the evenings. Also, it's a great dish to share with friends. Psst, get them to carry the corn chips and avocado!
