Serving Suggestions

Remove the potatoes from the foil, split the potatoes and fill with the chilli beef and a big dollop of the lime crème fraîche, and then top with the grated cheese. Top with a drizzle of the sweet chilli sauce and a garnish with the remaining spring onions, and freshly chopped herbs. Serve immediately!
