Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced.
• Thinly slice capsicum and brown onion. 
• Slice kernels off corn cob. 
• Roughly chop pickled jalapeƱos (if using).
• Slice mini flour tortillas into quarters.
• Finely chop mild chorizo. 

Cook the chorizo topping
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over 
high heat.
• Cook corn and chorizo, stirring, until lightly 
browned, 4-6 minutes.
• Transfer to a medium bowl. Cover to keep warm.

Start the topping
3

• Return frying  pan to medium-high heat with a 
drizzle of olive oil. Cook capsicum and onion, 
tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes.
• Add beef mince and cook, breaking up with a 
spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.  

Finish the topping
4

• SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot. Add less if 
you’re sensitive to heat. Drain oil from pan, then add 
Mexican Fiesta spice blend and tomato paste 
(see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. 
Add the water, stirring to combine.
• Reduce heat to low, then sprinkle over Cheddar 
cheese. Cover tightly with a lid (or foil), then cook 
until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes.

Bake the tortilla chips
5

• Meanwhile, spread tortilla chips over a lined oven 
tray (don’t worry if they overlap).
• Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Bake 
until lightly golden and crisp, 8-10 minutes. 

Finish & serve
6

• Divide tortillas chips between plates or on a serving 
platter. Spoon over the cheesy beef topping and the 
chorizo mixture.
• Top with light sour cream, tomato relish and 
jalapeƱos. Tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour:Ā The beef and chorizo combination delivers great smokiness and spice, and the generous toppings make it feel like a proper loaded nacho dish.
  • Ease of prep:Ā Most found it straightforward to pull together, though one reviewer noted that baking the tortilla chips from scratch added extra effort on a weeknight.
  • Suggestions:Ā Using good-quality store-bought corn chips instead of baking the tortillas simplifies the process nicely. One reviewer also added fresh avocado and served portions in individual ramekins, which worked well.
  • Portions:Ā The two-protein combination makes for a generous serve that goes a long way at the table.
