What do you call cheese that isn’t yours? It’s nacho cheese! Luckily for you, we don’t just have cheesy words, we also have cheesy nachos (and they’re all yours). The saucy beef brisket and bacon topping includes our Tex-Mex spice blend for subtle heat and delicious flavour and we've added sour cream for a refreshing balance. The combination on this tasty meal is no joke!

Cooking Steps
- Finely chop garlic.
- Grate carrot.
- Drain sweetcorn.
- Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook sweetcorn, until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are ‘popping’ out.
- Meanwhile, slice mini flour tortillas into quarters.
- Set air fryer to 200°C.
- Place tortilla chips into the air fryer basket (don’t worry if they overlap). Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
- Cook, until golden and crispy, 4-5 minutes. Cook in batches if needed.
TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Divide tortillas between two lined oven trays (don’t worry if they overlap). Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Bake until lightly golden and crispy, 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, shred the beef brisket with 2 forks.
- Return pan to high heat. Cook diced bacon breaking bacon up with a spoon, until just golden, 3-4 minutes. (No need for oil!)
- Add shredded beef and carrot and cook, until heated through and liquid has evaporated, 4-5 minutes.
- Add garlic, Tex-Mex spice blend and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Add the water and stir to combine.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over, then cover with a lid (or foil) and cook until the cheese has melted, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: Don’t simmer it for too long, you want it to be nice and saucy!
- While the cheese is melting, in a small bowl, scoop out avocado (see ingredients) and mash with a fork. Season to taste.
Little cooks: Help prep the avo!
- Divide the nacho chips between plates and top with the cheesy shredded beef and smokey bacon mixture.
- Top with light sour cream, charred corn and mashed avo to serve. Enjoy!
TIP: Serve the nacho chips on the side if you prefer!
Little cooks: Have fun assembling the nachos!
