- Put the tomatoes in a small bowl and stir through the lime zest and half the juice. Put the yogurt in another small bowl and stir in the chipotle paste. Set both aside.
- Spray a large saucepan with oil and set over a medium heat. Fry half the onions, stirring frequently, for 5 mins, then add the garlic and cook for 5 mins. Add a splash of water if it starts to stick. Add the beans and their liquid, the cumin and chillies (if using). Mix, then simmer for 10-15 mins until thickened. Season.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice to pack instructions. Drain; stir in the seeds.
- Heat a large, nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Tip in the corn and the remaining onion, leave to char for 2 mins without stirring, then stir and char for 2 mins more. Cook for 5 mins more, stirring.
- Mix the remaining lime juice with the avocado and season. Divide the rice, beans, avocado and charred veg between 4 large bowls. Serve with the salsa, yogurt and coriander.
