One of our favourite family casual meals is a good ol’ nachos. This is really tasty using my taco seasoning and topping the nachos with grated cheese, guacamole, sour cream, cherry tomatoes and refried beans. This makes a very large serve so any cooked mince left over freezes very well.
Nachos with the Works

- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 red chilli (optional)
- 2 onions, peeled and halved
- 20g olive oil

To serve:

Instructions

- If you are mincing your meat follow my mincing tips here. Set aside.
- Place garlic, chilli, onion and oil into TM bowl and chop 3 sec / speed 5.
- Scrape down and sauté 5 mins / Varoma / speed 1 / MC off.
- Add taco seasoning, brown sugar, tomato paste, tomatoes and red kidney beans.
- Using tap water, wet and squeeze out baking paper and then lay flat on the Varoma tray ensuring not to cover all the holes.
- Place mince onto baking paper and place assembled Varoma onto TM lid and cook 15 mins / Varoma / speed 1 / Reverse.
- Break up mince with aid of spatula and tip mince into TM bowl with the other ingredients. Mix mince through with aid of spatula and cook for a further 5 mins / 100°C / speed soft / Reverse.

Notes
This recipe can be halved and the mince placed in the simmering basket instead of the Varoma.
Optional: sprinkle grated cheese over corn chips and pop in the oven to melt, then remove and add remaining ingredients.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this recipe and cannot believe I waited so long to make Leonie! A keeper indeed!
I substituted a tbsp Xylitol + 1/2 teaspoon pure cinnamon for the brown sugar based on my food lifestyle and added finely sliced spinach, tomatoes, melted cheddar cheese, coriander and white corn chips! YUM! Thank you!
