Instructions

Nachos - NO CHEESE

  1. Collect together your equipment (see Recipe Notes below) and ingredients.

  2. Heat your chilli, either Chilli Con Carne or Vegetarian Lentil Chilli with Black Beans, Sweetcorn and Chickpeas.

  3. Prepare the toppings and lay out with the tortillas so they are all ready.

  4. Scatter some tortilla around the edges of your serving bowl leaving a hole in the centre.

  5. Spoon the hot chilli into the centre of the tortillas.

  6. Load up with your favourite toppings and, if you like, add some more tortilla chips.

  7. Eat whilst it is hot! 

Nachos - WITH CHEESE (Of course!)

  1. Collect together your equipment (see Recipe Notes below) and ingredients.

  2. Preheat your grill/broiler to high.

  3. Heat your chilli, either Chilli Con Carne or Vegetarian Lentil Chilli with Black Beans, Sweetcorn and Chickpeas.

  4. Prepare the toppings and lay out with the tortillas so they are all ready.

  5. Spoon your chosen hot chilli into an oven proof bowl.

  6. Scatter over some grated cheese.

  7. Pop your dish under the grill to melt the cheese.

  8. Load up with your favourite toppings and add some tortilla chips.

  9. Remember the bowl will be very hot so I either pop it on a plate or sit it inside another bowl.
