Mmmm Mmmm Nachos!

Beef Chilli Nachos.

My favourite type of food is probably Mexican, and some thing that I make really well is Nachos. I eat them when I’m out a lot, but nowhere seems to do them well.  So I thought I would show people how I make them, and then people can tell me how they like them/ if they have other ways of making them.

Friday night’s nachos were, Beef Chilli Nachos.  My favourite is definitely Chicken, but it’s always good to have some variety!

Ingredients:

400g Beef mince   1X Onion

2 X Chilli  1 X tinned tomatoes

2 X avocadoes  Zest of 1 lime

1 X large bag of tortilla chips
1 X Tin of Kidney beans

Cheese Soured cream

 To Make:

Start by making up some chilli. Brown the onions, add mince, add the chilli, add the tomatoes, and leave to bubble away for 20-30 mins (more time if you’ve got it).

Guacamole: So easy to make. Put some chopped avocado in the blender, along with chopped chilli, lime zest, squeeze the lime to add in a bit of juice, crack black pepper and it’s made!

Nacho construction (where people go wrong!):

For starters you’ll need a big roasting dish. Lay out a generous portion of tortilla chips, and dollop of guacamole, and chilli along with a handful of cheese. Place more tortilla chips over everything, dollop the rest of your chilli and guacamole

On the top, along with a huge helping of cheese. Place in the oven at 200 degrees for 8-10 mins. When you take it out, start throwing soured cream wherever you desire!

What I think: I think I make better Nachos then any I have bought, anywhere! With the main differences being: cooked in the oven, and guacamole/ salsa is also cooked with everything.If you drain any excess tomato juices before slathering them over your nachos, it will make for a better feast! Easily one of my most favourite things to ever eat. Too much love for nachos. 

Apple Nachos!

Apple Nachos

I’ve seen these dotted about a few places, so decided I would give it a go, as I am a bit of a peanut butter fiend! They are ridiculously easy to make, and quick to make. The most time consuming bit was slicing the apples, and that’s not exactly hard!

            Ingredients:

• 2 apples- sliced
• 3 heaps of peanut butter
• Handful of cashew nuts
• Handful of chocolate drops.

Slice some apples; spread them over your plate.

Melt peanut butter and cover it all over the apple slices

Throw over nuts and chocolate drops

Eat quickly so apples don’t brown!  

What I think:

These are a pretty tasty treat, and as far as desserts go, I guess sort of healthy? We were going to also spread over nutella, but du to already being full to the brim we decided just peanut butter would be better. I used one red and one green apple, thinking that this would add to the appearance, but the red apples didn’t work as well from the heat of the peanut butter. So two green will do the trick!
