Wash the chillies, halve lengthways, remove seeds and stem and chop finely.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan, add the mince and break apart with a wooden spoon. Add onion and garlic and cook everything on low heat.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan and fry the peppers and chillies over medium heat. Then add the tomatoes and season with some chilli powder, salt and pepper.

Add the peppers to the mince and cook for five minutes over a medium heat. Then add the beef stock, bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Finally, add the beans and sweetcorn to the pan and heat well.
