  1. Start by preparing the vegetables. Peel and dice the sweet potato and halve the green pepper. Chop them into small, even pieces for even cooking.
  2. Peel and finely chop the garlic clove. Rinse the sweetcorn and drain the black beans.
  3. Heat a medium-sized pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the bacon and cook and cut up until they are golden and beginning to crispen about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped garlic, sweet potato, and green pepper to the pan. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
  5. Stir in the Mexican spice mix (all spices) and cook for an additional minute until the spices are fragrant.
  6. Pour in the tomato passata and chicken stock, stirring to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of water to achieve a stew-like consistency.
  7. Add the drained black beans and sweetcorn. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and let simmer for 10 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender and the flavours have melded together.
  8. Shred the mature cheddar cheese and set aside. Roughly chop the coriander, reserving some leaves for garnish.
  9. Once the stew is ready, spoon it into a serving bowl. Generously top with the grated cheddar cheese, a dollop of soured cream, and a sprinkle of the fresh chopped coriander.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with the reserved coriander leaves for an added touch of colour and freshness.
