Method

Cook the rice to pack instructions. Heat ½ tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the mince, breaking up with a spoon, for 8-10 mins until golden and crisp. Drain off the excess fat. Add the garlic and fajita seasoning; fry for 2 mins more.
Meanwhile, heat ½ tbsp oil in another frying pan. Fry the onions and peppers over a high heat for 4-6 mins until soft and piping hot. Stir in the black beans and cook for 2-3 mins to warm through.
Boil the peas for 2-3 mins until defrosted, then drain and rinse for a few secs to cool. Put in a blender (or use a stick blender), season with pepper and squeeze in 2 lime wedges. Blend to a chunky guacamole; add 1 tbsp water to bring together, if needed. Stir the lime zest and coriander through the crème fraîche.
Divide the rice between 4 bowls. Spoon over the crispy mince and the bean mixture. Add a dollop of the herby crème fraîche, the pea guacamole and the coriander leaves. Scatter with the spring onions and serve with a lime wedge for squeezing over.
