Mi Goreng Graduate: Connor's Nachos

Ruby’s on vacay, so design intern Connor swooped in to save the day with his “banging” nacho recipe! Nachos are a classic go-to student meal, perfect for the colder weather for a quick and tasty feed. To make it vegetarian, simply swap the mince for more veggies such as carrots and capsicum.

Serves: 4

Time: 30 mins

Price: $$

Difficulty: 2/5

Ingredients

  • 500g mince 
  • 1 can chilli beans 
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 
  • 2 100g bags nacho chip of choice (I went with Mexicano Corn Chips, Thai Sweet Chilli) 
  • Seasonings of choice (I used paprika, cumin, turmeric, mixed herbs, salt, pepper) 
  • Handful of grated cheese 
  • Sauce of choice (Peri Peri mayo goes hard)
  • 1 onion, diced 
  • Oil

Instructions

  1. Start by coating the bottom of a deep pan with olive oil, and bring to a medium/high heat. 
  2. Add your mince to the pan and cook till brown. 
  3. Once the mince is cooked, add your beans, canned tomatoes, diced onion, and seasonings. Mix together well. 
  4. Turn down the heat to a medium/low setting and leave to simmer for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

To Plate 

Lay your chips out on a plate or bowl, then scoop your nacho mince mixture over the top. Sprinkle grated cheese over the mince and chips and give it a quick blast in the oven or microwave to melt the cheese. Squirt sauce on top and enjoy!
