  • 200 g black beans drained weight
  • 100 g cheddar cheese

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in your skillet and then add the mince and garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
    80 g vegetarian mince, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 cloves garlic
  2. Add in the peppers, black beans, passata/tomatoes, and the seasonings. Cook for a further 4-5 minutes, then stir in ⅔ of the cheese until it’s melted and the mince has cooked.

  3. Remove the mixture from your skillet, and place a layer of the tortilla chips (about half) inside. Scatter over about half of the remaining cheese, then add another layer of tortilla chips followed by the cheesy mince mixture, then the remaining cheese.

Notes

These skillet nachos are best enjoyed immediately after adding your toppings to avoid getting soggy nachos! Serve in the skillet but take care if the skillet is hot.
Adding a layer of cheese between the tortillas helps make sure you’re not left with lots of tortilla chips that aren’t covered in a nacho topping - but you could also serve the sauces separately to dip any bare chips in!
