Ingredients
- 500 g of lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Mexican spice mix (paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, ground cumin, dried parsley, dried oregano, cayenne pepper)
- ⅓ cup water
- ⅔ cup drained and washed red kidney beans
- 200 g tortilla chips
- 4 cups shredded cheddar and/or Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 sliced spring onions
Directions
- Heat the oven to 190°C.
- Fry the beef in a pan over medium-high heat until it loses its pink color. Drain off excess fat.

- Meanwhile, arrange the tortillas on a baking sheet. Add half the cheese, beef mixture, and remaining cheese. Sprinkle with half the spring onion.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pan from the oven and add the remaining spring onions and toppings as desired. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
You can also include in the nachos recipe corn, pepperoni and sliced tomatoes. These additives add a variety of flavors and textures and increase the nutritional value of the dish. You can use canned or fresh corn, pepperoni for extra spicy flavor, and tomatoes for freshness and juiciness. You can add these ingredients to the nachos before or after baking, depending on your personal preference and the texture you want to achieve. For example, fresh chopped tomatoes and pepperoni can be added after baking to keep them fresh and crisp.
