• Fresh coriander

Method

1. Beef. Brown the beef in a dry pan. Add taco seasoning and 30 ml water. Simmer 5 minutes.
2. Layer. Spread chips on an oven-safe tray. Scatter with cheddar. Drizzle with nacho cheese sauce. Top with the seasoned beef.
3. Bake. Grill in the oven for 3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
4. Top. Add sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, jalapeños, fresh coriander.

Tips

• Bake the chips + cheese first. Then add cold toppings. Layering matters.
• Don’t overload with toppings. The chips should still be visible.
• Bake on a tray under the grill for 3 minutes. Hot chips + melty cheese.
