Ingredients
- 1 Large Packet Corn Chips
- 500g Chicken Mince
- 1 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
- 2 tsp Cumin
- 2 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Rich Glen Fiery Chilli Olive Oil
- 425g Tin Black Beans, rinsed
- ½ Green Capsicum
- ½ - ¾ Punnet Cherry Tomatoes, chopped finely
- ½ Red Onion, thinly sliced
- 4 Spring Onion, finely chopped
- 1-2 Avocados, smashed and seasoned with Rich Glen Chilli Salt
- ¼ Bunch Coriander, to garnish (you can add as much or as little as your taste buds desire)
- Green Chilli, finely chopped (you can omit if you find green chilli too hot)
- 200g Mozzarella Cheese, grated
- Rich Glen Zesty Lemon Lime Dressing
- Rich Glen Yarrawonga Sweet Chilli Sauce
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Line a tray or shallow oven dish with baking paper and set it aside.
- Heat a pan on medium to high heat; add the chicken mince, paprika, cumin, minced garlic, and Chilli Agrumato Oil. Cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- Arrange the corn chips in a single layer on the baking tray, then pour the cooked mince over them.
- Add the black beans, sprinkle over the spring onion and green capsicum, and top with cheese. Place it in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts and starts to turn golden.
- Remove from the oven and add the red onion, tomatoes, green chilli, and dollops of smashed avocado.
- Garnish with fresh coriander and, to elevate the flavour, generously drizzle RG Zesty Lemon Lime Dressing or RG Sweet Chilli Sauce — or even both — to take these nachos to the absolute next level!
