baked nachos

a favourite dinner in our house, which we have probably once a fortnight (more often if joseph gets his way!) is nachos. they are super yum (and easy and even somewhat healthy!) so i am more than happy to make them for him. they are easy to throw together last minute and a great option if i need to take dinner around for someone (that's what happened this time, please note the foil tray!)

baked nachos

1 diced onion

250g mince (500g if you're not adding grated veggies)

1/2 zucchini grated

1 carrot grated

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can baked beans

1/2 sachet mexican seasoning (1/2 is fine for us, use a whole one if you like)

1 bag plain corn chips (you can use seasoned, i'm not a fan)

grated cheese to top

*optional, sour cream and avocado to serve

1. fry onion, add mince and fry until brown

2. add grated vegetables and fry until they are soft and mixed in well

3. add tomatoes and beans and stir to combine

4. add seasoning and allow to simmer for 5 or so minutes

it will look something like this!

5. pour chips into dish and evenly spread mixture over the top

6. top with cheese and bake until cheese is melted and going brown

serve immediately before the chips get too soggy. we top with sour cream and avocado.

i love making these as they are just so easy to do. plus, it's so easy to modify the recipe...

it's gluten free and dairy free prior to cheese and sour cream, can be made meatier by adding extra mince and less vegetables and can even be made vegetarian by leaving out the meat and adding more veggies. there's something for everyone. enjoy!
