Loaded Cheese Nachos at Home in 15 Minutes

Loaded nachos are a party favourite: crunchy chips, beans, veggies and melted cheese. A shake of Grella Mexican on top adds warm, Mexican style spice to every chip.

What you need (serves 3 to 4)

• 1 large pack of nachos or tortilla chips
• Half a cup of boiled rajma or baked beans
• 1 onion, 1 tomato and 1 capsicum, chopped
• A handful of sweet corn
• 1 cup grated cheese
• 2 teaspoons Mexican cheese seasoning, plus more to taste
• Salsa, sour cream or hung curd to serve (optional)

Method

1. Mix the beans, onion, tomato, capsicum and corn with 1 teaspoon of the seasoning.
2. Spread the chips on an oven tray or a wide pan.
3. Spoon the bean mix over the chips and cover with the grated cheese.
4. Oven: bake at 200 °C for 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese melts. Pan: cover with a lid and heat on low for 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Shake on the rest of the seasoning and serve straight away with salsa or curd dip.

Tips

• Serve straight away. Nachos lose their crunch if they sit.
• For extra heat, use Grella Jalapeno or Grella Chilli instead.
• No time to bake? Just shake the seasoning straight onto a bowl of chips.

Questions
