Spicy Nachos – ThermoFun

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.  If you enjoy refried beans to go with your nachos you can click here for my recipe.  🙂
