Fully Loaded Nachos
Spicy mince and melted cheese, what’s not to love! Use vegan cheese and vegan sour cream to be fully plant-based, or your regular dairy favourites if you’re going for vegetarian comfort food.
Ingredients
- 1 pack Future Farm Mince
- 1 onion chopped fine
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 250g grated cheese (your choice of vegan or regular)
- 1 pack nacho chips
For the Pico de Gallo salsa
- Cherry tomatoes quartered
- ½ red onion finely sliced
- Fresh coriander chopped
- Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
Toppings
- Guacamole
- Sour cream (your choice of vegan or regular)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C
- In a pan gently fry the chopped onion in a tablespoon of olive oil until soft. Stir in the Future Farm Mince, breaking it up with a spatula, and add the spices, plus a seasoning of salt and pepper. Cook stirring over a medium heat for about 5 minutes until browned, well mixed, and fragrant.
- In a baking tin or dish spread half the nachos in one layer. Cover with half the grated cheese and half the mince, then the rest of the nachos, topped with the rest of the mince and cheese. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes until the cheese is thoroughly melted.
- Make the Pico de Gallo salsa by combining the chopped tomatoes, red onions and coriander and dressing lightly with salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar.
To serve – top nachos with the salsa and generous dollops of guacamole and sour cream, plus more fresh coriander. Alternatively, keep the toppings in small bowls on the side for everyone to add their own.
