Nachos
A huge platter of crispy tortillas surrounding either Chilli Con Carne or Vegetarian Lentil Chilli with Black Beans, Sweetcorn and Chick Peas and loaded with all your favourite toppings, think:
- guacamole or slices of avocado
- salsa or chopped tomatoes
- sour cream
- grated cheese – I use mature cheddar
- chopped coriander
- sliced red chilli
- lime wedges
YES PLEASE! Nachos can either be served as a fun, huge sharing platter or have separate plates and let everyone chose their own. This is certainly what we do in our family with a mix of carnivores, vegetarians and non- cheese eaters. I leave it all on the table and everyone makes it to suit themselves.

There are so many different nachos ideas out there; a lot of recipes include having a layer of tortillas, covered with the toppings and heated in the oven before adding a few extra toppings. However, when you are adding chilli to your nachos, this can make the tortillas go soggy if left for too long. To avoid this, I have 2 different ways of making nachos with chilli, depending on whether or not you are having cheese.
Nachos without cheese:
![](http://www.daffodilkitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/IMG_6666-2-1-1024x768.jpg)
- Heat your chilli, either Chilli Con Carne or Vegetarian Lentil Chilli with Black Beans, Sweetcorn and Chickpeas.
- Prepare the toppings and lay out with the tortillas so they are all ready.
- Scatter some tortilla around the edges of your serving bowl leaving a hole in the centre.
- Spoon the hot chilli into the centre of the tortillas.
- Load up with your favourite toppings and, if you like, add some more tortilla chips.
- Eat whilst it is hot! Quick, easy and super delicious.
1&2 Heat chilli and prepare toppings 3&4 Spoon chilli into the… …centre of the tortillas 5 Load up with …. …. all your…. … favourite toppings.
Nachos with cheese:
Of course YES to the cheese!!

- Preheat your grill/broiler
- Spoon your chosen hot chilli into an oven proof bowl
- Scatter over some grated cheese
- Pop your dish under the grill to melt the cheese
- Load up with your favourite toppings and add some tortilla chips.
- Remember the bowl will be very hot so I either pop it on a plate or sit it inside another bowl.
- Eat whilst it is hot and marvel at that sublime combination with all the melted cheese!!
