nachos mexicana

This is a recipe I use myself whenever I'm craving avocado, big corn bites or something Mexican. I made this recipe for 20 of my family members on Friday night as a starter and already my cousin has phoned me for the recipe! So its definitely yummy!


Guacamole
ingredients:

2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed

 lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup diced onion

2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 pinch ground cayenne pepper

method:

In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lemon juice (so that the avo doesn't go brown), and salt. Mix in onion, tomatoes, and garlic. Stir in cayenne pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor.

Salsa

ingredients:

2-3 medium sized fresh tomatoes

1/2 onion, finely diced

1 chopped green chili

Juice of one lime

1/2 cup chopped cilantro (coriander)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: oregano and or cumin to taste     

method:

Chop the tomatoes, onions, chili and coriander and add to a medium bowl. Add lime juice (I prefer using lemon juice). Then salt and pepper to taste as well as oregano and cumin (jeera). Mix all together.

Putting it all together

Instead of using nacho chips I prefer to use Big Corn Bites chips (bbq flavour). Place that in a dish that you want to serve it in and that is oven-friendly. Then grate cheese on top of the chips and grill it in the oven. Next, spread the guacamole on top of the melted cheese. The salsa goes on top of the guacamole and then sour cream or cream fraiche.
