Cold ice on can sprayed around middle of dirty dish (6,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chilli con carne

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cold ice on can sprayed around middle of dirty' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'cold' could be 'chill' (chill can mean cold) and 'chill' is present in the answer.
'on' is present in the answer.
'around' could be 'ca' (circa) and 'ca' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chilli con carne that I've seen before include "fare" , "meal" , "Spicy dish" , "Spicy stew" .)
