Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2–3 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 200 g corn chips (a sturdy, thick-cut chip holds up best)
- 300 g beef mince or shredded chicken
- 1 tbsp taco-style seasoning
- 400 g tin black beans, drained
- 1½ cups (180 g) grated cheese (tasty or a Mexican blend)
- ½ cup pico de gallo
- ½ cup guacamole
- ¼ cup sour cream
- Pickled jalapeños, to taste
Method
- Brown the protein in a hot pan, add the seasoning and a splash of water, and simmer 2 minutes. Warm the beans.
- Heat the oven to 200°C. Spread half the chips on a lined tray, then half the protein, beans and cheese. Repeat with the second layer — layering is what stops bare chips.
- Bake 8–10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling at the edges.
- Top with pico de gallo, dollops of guacamole and sour cream, and the jalapeños.
- Serve on the tray, immediately — nachos wait for no one.
