Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes and remove the crisper plate.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the mince with all the spices and seasonings until fully combined, then form into bite-sized meatballs. You should be able to make about 12. Lightly spray with oil and arrange the meatballs in the air fryer basket or your ovenproof dish, in a single layer with a little space between each. Cook for 3–5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, or turning if using a dish, and cook until the balls are starting to turn golden.

Step 3

Meanwhile, make your sauce by blitzing all the ingredients except the beans in a blender until smooth. Pour the sauce over your meatballs and stir. Add the kidney beans and stir again. Cook for a further 8–10 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through, and the sauce is thick.

Step 4

Cook the rice according to the packet instructions. Serve the meatballs with the rice, soured cream, fresh coriander, grated Cheddar, jalapeños and avocado (if using).
