- Meanwhile, make the jalapeño yoghurt and guacamole by combining all the ingredients for each in two separate bowls.
- Remove the nachos from the oven. Dollop on the jalapeño yoghurt and guacamole. Top with extra coriander, jalapeño and lime juice. Enjoy!
Notes
You can easily add meat to this dish. Add 500 g chicken, pork or beef mince instead of the beans and break up the mince with a wooden spoon. Alternatively, do a half/half ratio of mince to beans.
You can find Mexican spice mix in the spice or Mexican section of your supermarket. The individual sachets for burritos or fajitas work well.
