Loaded Beef Chilli Cheese Fries With Zesty Slaw

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and boil half a kettle

Cut your potatoes (skins on) into thin chips, then add them to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until the chips are golden and starting to crisp

While the chips are cooking, peel and slice your shallot[s]

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the sliced shallot and ground cumin and cook for 1-2 min

Add your beef mince to the pan and cook for 5-6 min, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go

Meanwhile, dissolve your beef stock mix in 150ml [200ml] [250ml] boiled water, then add your tomato paste, chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and a pinch of sugar and mix to combine – this is your spicy stock

Add the spicy stock to the beef mince and bring to a boil over a high heat

Reduce the heat to medium-high heat and cook for 8-9 min or until the sauce has thickened and the beef is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Once done, remove the pan from the heat and set aside for later – this is your beef chilli

While the chilli is cooking, combine your mayo with the zest and juice of half of your lime[s], 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] cold water and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl – this is your zesty slaw dressing

Finely grate your cheddar cheese

Once the chips are done, arrange them into 1 pile per person on the baking tray[s]

Top each pile with the beef chilli and then the grated cheddar cheese and return the tray[s] to the oven for 5 min or until the cheese has melted

Once done, set aside for a few minutes to cool slightly – these are your loaded beef chilli cheese fries

Top, tail, peel and grate your carrots[s]

Wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and shred finely

Combine the grated carrot, shredded lettuce and the zesty slaw dressing in a bowl then give everything a good mix up – this is your zesty slaw

Cut the remaining lime into wedges
