Nachos Costa Baja Style Recipes

NACHOS, COSTA BAJA STYLE

Steps:

• Heat oven broiler (grill) to high.
• In a baking dish, layer about 1/3 of the tortilla chips and 1/3 of the cheese. Broil for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melting and bubbling.
• Meanwhile, take the beans, onion and cilantro and blend with either a fork or an immersion blender until you achieve the texture you want. I like mine a little smooth and a little chunky.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and layer on 1/2 the beans and about 1/2 of the salsa, top with some more cheese.
• Briefly place back under the broiler until the cheese is melted.
• Layer more nachos, beans and salsa, top with more cheese.
• Broil again until cheese has melted.
• Top with more salsa, the tomato and avocado.
• Sprinkle a little chopped cilantro on top and serve hot with lime quarters.

NACHOS

Steps:

• Tip tortilla chips on to a baking tray, pour over salsa and scatter over a few sliced spring onions.
• Grate over a good chunk of cheese (fontina is perfect, but cheddar will do). Add a pinch of crushed chilli flakes, then put under a hot grill for about 3 minutes to melt the cheese. Serve with soured cream or guacamole (optional).
