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!

Cooking Steps
• 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.
Little cooks: Help prep the avo!
• Divide the tortilla chips between plates and top with the cheesy beef mixture. • Dollop with light sour cream and spoon over avocado. Scatter over tomato and tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
TIP: Serve the tortilla chips on the side if you prefer!
Little cooks: Have fun assembling the nachos!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The Tex-Mex spice blend delivers a mild, well-rounded heat that the whole family tends to enjoy. Some found the seasoning a little subtle and suggest adding extra spices for more depth.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to pull together, though a few noted it feels like a fair bit of prep for a nacho-style dish.
- Suggestions: Some swapped the flour tortillas for store-bought corn chips for extra crunch, while others seasoned the tortilla quarters before baking for more flavour. Adding a salsa or a little cream can also help balance the heat.
- Leftovers: The dish reheats well and at least one reviewer enjoyed it for lunch the next day, though most reported nothing left on the plate.
- Portions: A few customers cooking for hungrier households found the mince and tortilla quantities a little light, and suggest scaling up with extra mince, beans, or wraps.
