I don't think you can go past Nachos for a quick dinner, lunch, bbq, get together, pot luck - you get the idea :) but when you get to replace the store bought items with freshly made produce - it takes eating to a whole new level! This thermomix spicy nachos, using my ThermoFun Taco Seasoning and my ThermoFun Salsa and adding a little jalapeño - you have a beautifully balanced spicy nachos mixture. Perfect for those days/nights you want nachos but you want to kick it up a notch! :)
Quick cooking in our house is a must even with adult children as my life is so busy! As most of you know, purchasing a Thermomix revolutionised my life and cooking and now when I sit down to anything I make, I still marvel at the thought that I am doing all this! I am sure you would agree. It really is exciting! :)
I must admit my taco seasoning is the go to item in the cupboard when I have to "whip something up" but when paired with my salsa it really is a wonderful "sauce" for some steamed chicken or mince, pasta and a little cream cheese. My salsa and taco seasoning is also great with either sour cream or cream cheese making an awesome dip too! This type of "cooking" is what I love about my recipes - you make "basics" and you have 'go to' ingredients to whip up great recipes for your family and friends.
