Preparation method

Method • Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the minced beef, onion and red pepper for 3-4 minutes over a high heat until browned. Stir in the sweetcorn and Uncle Ben’s Medium Chilli con Carne sauce and simmer for 10 minutes • Divide the mixture between the lettuce leaves and scatter over some shredded spring onion. Fold one edge of the lettuce over the filling, then fold in the two sides of the lettuce and roll up like a swiss roll to completely enclose the filling • Heat two pouches of Uncle Ben’s Express Long Grain rice according to the instructions and serve immediately Cook’s tip! This is a great way to get the kids to eat more vegetables! Serve the lettuce cups, a bowl of chilli and an extra bowl filled with diced cucumber, chopped tomato, diced avocado and sweetcorn kernels. They can be scattered over the chilli mixture before folding the wrap GDAs Adult portion: 359 kcal (18%), 13.8g sugar (15%), 14.4g fat (21%), 5.6g sat fat (28%), 1.7g salt (28%) Child portion: 179 kcals (10%), 7g sugar (8%), 7.2g fat (10%), 2.8g sat fat (14%), 0.85g salt (21%) Recipe courtesy of Uncle Ben’s
