    Nachos with the Works Recipe

    Jump to recipe

    NachosWithTheWorks

    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.

    4. Scrape down and sauté 5 mins / Varoma / speed 1 / MC off.
    5. Add taco seasoning, brown sugar, tomato paste, tomatoes and red kidney beans.
    6. Using tap water, wet and squeeze out baking paper and then lay flat on the Varoma tray ensuring not to cover all the holes.

      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!
