If you're as disappointed in England's performance as I am, then hopefully these world cup nachos will cheer you up! The American Vegetarian introduced me to the joy of homemade nachos. Its perfect 'in front of the tv' food, and goes down well with a nice cold beer.
Two ripe avocados
1 red onion; diced
2 ripe tomatoes
Half the juice of a lime1/2 tsp chilli powder
1 can of chopped tomatoes
Handful of fresh coriander; chopped
Splash of lemon juice
1 can of re fried beans
1 bag of lightly salted tortilla chips (Must be lightly salted for nachos. Any other flavour will ruin it.)Good handful of jalapeno peppers (I use the ones you get in bottles. Drain from bottle and chopped)
Some grated cheese of your choice (cheddar, red leicester)
Lettuce; chopped
salt & pepper to tasteTake the first five ingredients and make the guacamole. Here's how; Cut the avocado in half and with a spoon scoop out the flesh and place in a bowl. Mush it up with a fork until it gets quite smooth. Cut the tomatoes in quarters and de-seed them. Then dice the flesh of the tomato and add to the bowl, along with half of the chopped red onion, the juice of half a lime, chilli powder and salt to taste. Mix until all ingredients are mixed well. Now make the salsa. Open the can of tomatoes and transfer to a bowl. Add the rest of the chopped red onion, fresh coriander, salt and pepper to taste and a splash of lemon juice. Stir and set aside.
Heat the re fried beans according to the cans instructions. Now on a plate place as many tortilla chips as you want. On top of this put some of the heated re fried beans, then scatter some jalapeno peppers, add some guacamole and some salsa, and then sprinkle on some cheese. Now stick the plate in the microwave or place under a grill, until the cheese has melted. Once this is done, add some lettuce and more guacamole and salsa. Nachos done! Oh and don't be afraid to pile it high!
Enjoy whilst sitting in front of the TV with a cold beer! Come on England!!!
