INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the Chili Beef

  • In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for a few minutes until they become translucent.
  • Add the ground beef and cook until it's browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  • Stir in the chili seasoning mix, diced tomatoes, sweetcorn and kidney beans. Cook for a few minutes until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

 

Assemble the Nachos:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

 

Layer the Nachos:
On a large ovenproof platter or baking sheet, spread out a layer of tortilla chips. Top with a portion of the chili beef mixture and a generous amount of shredded cheese. Repeat this layering until you've used all the chips and beef, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

 

Bake the Nachos:
Place the loaded nachos in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

 

Add Toppings:
Once the nachos are out of the oven, sprinkle the pickled jalapeño slices, diced red onion, and chopped coriander over the top.

 

Serve:
Serve the loaded chili beef nachos while they are hot. Drizzle OMG Carolina Reaper over the nachos. You can also add dollops of sour cream and guacamole on top or serve them as dipping sauces on the side.
