    Level 1

    • 400 g2¼ cups14 oz white rice, rinsed
    • 2 x 425 g15 oz cans black beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
    • 950 ml4 cups water
    • 2 tbsp lime juice
    • 30 g1 oz coriander, finely chopped
  2. Toss capsicums, onion, olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper; place on one side of Bake Tray.
  3. Combine chicken and fajita seasoning; place on other side of Bake Tray and slide into Level 2.
  4. Switch to COMBI COOKER. Select COMBI MEALS, 150°C300°F, . Unit steams before cooking.

    Our tip Cut open the thickest strip of chicken before serving: it should be white all the way through. If there's any pink, put the tray back for a few minutes.

  5. Combine cooked chicken, vegetables and juices. Add lime juice and coriander to rice if desired; fluff and serve family-style.

    Our tip Lift the rice with a fork rather than stirring with a spoon, which mashes the beans. Cool any leftovers within an hour and keep them in the fridge.
