Make the meal

- Cook rice in fresh water according to the packet. Warm beans and sweetcorn in a saucepan with 3 tbsp water for 5 minutes.
- Mix the tomato with coriander and half the lime juice.
- These smoked rib tips are fully cooked. Put the thawed pieces in a pan with 2 tbsp water, cover and reheat over medium-low heat. Turn and start checking after 5 minutes. Reheat until hot through, checking 74°C / 165°F in the thickest meat away from any bone. Stop heating once ready; the checking time is not a guaranteed finish time. The tips contain bone and cartilage; leave these clear to diners or remove them carefully for tacos.
- Divide the rice, beans, sweetcorn and hot cooked meat among three bowls. Add tomato, avocado and a spoonful of yogurt.
- Serve the remaining lime in wedges.
