Loaded Lean 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 fries, then add them to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

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

While the fries 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 heat

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

Add your 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 mince and bring to a boil over a high heat

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

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

While the chilli is cooking, zest half your lime[s] (try to grate lightly with a micro-plane or sharp box grater and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter)

Combine your mayo with the zest and juice of half the lime[s] (you'll use the rest later!), 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] water and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl – this is your zesty dressing

Finely grate your cheddar cheese

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

Top with the mince chilli and grated 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 min to cool slightly – these are your loaded mince chilli cheese fries

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

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

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

Cut the remaining lime into wedges (2 per person!)
