Preparation
- Cook the rice by following the directions on the package.
- Finely chop or crush the garlic clove. Chop the onion. Remove the stem and seeds from the pointed peppers and cut the flesh into strips.
- Heat a large skillet or sauté pan with olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent.
- Then add the tomato paste and the herbs and fry for 2 – 3 minutes. This makes the tomato pasta less bitter. Then add the diced tomatoes, half a can of water and the pointed pepper and bring to the boil. Then lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 more minutes.
- Heat a generous drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cut the tortillas into triangles. Fry them in batches in the oil until brown, then drain them on some paper towels. Season them with salt and optionally paprika or chili powder.
- Mash the avocado flesh and mix in the cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drain the beans and add them to the vegetable stew. Warm them up for a short while.
- Season the chili sin carne with salt and pepper.
- Serve the chili sin carne with the homemade tortilla chips, the rice, the mashed avocado and the coarsely chopped coriander.
