Beef nachos recipe.
Our favourite nachos recipe
Nachos are one of the best comfort foods out there - the crunch of the corn chips, scooping up fragrant and flavourful ground beef and salsa, and who could forget about delicious, stringy pulls of cheese!
It’s so tempting to just order from one of the many Mexican chains out there, but the cost per serve and delivery fees motivate me to make my own. Lucky for you, with this easy beef nacho recipe, you’ll be able to use a bunch of on-hand ingredients to make it and there’s only three steps before you can enjoy a big bowl for dinner!
How do you serve nachos?
Finish off your beef nachos with salsa, avocado, sour cream and coriander for the ultimate dinner winner. Of course, you can add heat with some jalapeños too. Put the tray of nachos on a heatproof board or trivet on your table and watch eyes light up at the ultimate share dish arriving.
Key ingredients in beef nachos
- Beef mince: ground beef mince is not only a budget-friendly way to put a hearty meal on the table, but it takes on all the flavours and spices in this recipe to create a crave-worthy nachos topping. You can of course use other types of mince, if you prefer, and even a plant-based mince if you wish to make vegetarian nachos.
- Beans: we use kidney beans to bulk up this nachos dish, but you can also use black beans if that's what's in the pantry.
- Chilli powder and taco seasoning: this hard-working duo brings our ground beef mince mixture to life but, if you're not into spice, you can omit the chilli powder. Need more chilli? Adjust to your tastes!
- Tomato paste: for a savoury flavour bomb, tomato paste is the answer. If you don't have tomato paste, you can add a splash of passata (but it won't have quite the same concentrated strength of flavour).
- Toppings: we love the combination of grated cheese, sour cream, salsa and fresh coriander, but you can play around with toppings (and add hot sauce, if you wish), based on your preferences.
- Corn chips: nachos wouldn't be complete without their bed of corn chips, but if you have any leftover meat sauce mixture, you can add it to taco shells, tortillas, or even pile it on toast.
