- Dry-fry the chorizoin a pan over a medium heat, until crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper, discarding all but 2 tsp of fat in the pan.
- Return the pan to a high heat, add the beef and stir-fry, until browned all over. Tip the beefonto a plate and set aside.
- Return the pan to a medium heat, add the onion and cook until golden. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 1 minute. Return the beef and chorizo to the pan with the tomatoes and 175ml (6fl oz) water. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.
- Stir in the potatoes and beans, and cook for a further hour, adding a splash of water if it looks a little dry. Remove the lid, turn up the heat and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens. Season to taste.
- For the salsa, combine the avocado, lime juice and coriander in a bowl, then season to taste.
