Beany beef chilli stew with crunchy tortilla croutons

Beans and lentils add great texture and stretch the meat further in this hearty stew. They're also a good source of protein and vitamins, and cost-efficient as well. For ease, make it ahead for busier days and the flavours will continue to develop (it will keep frozen for a few months). The vibrant toppings add zingy freshness and colour.
