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 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!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop tomato. Grate carrot. Slice kernels off corn cob.

• Slice mini flour tortillas into quarters. • Divide 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, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and corn kernels and cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add the garlic and Tex-Mex spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes.

• Add tomato paste and the water to the beef and stir to combine. • Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Season with pepper. • Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the beef mixture, 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, place avocado (see ingredients) flesh in a small bowl and mash with a fork. Season to taste.
