Bean and Mince Nachos with Guacamole

Saturday, November 26, 2011 - Posted by Spoon and Chopsticks

This lovely and delicious bean and mince nachos with guacamole is a perfect dish for my weekend lunch. It is very easy to make and loved by everyone in family.

Ingredients for Nachos:

100-120g corn chips
200-250g beef mince
300g canned red kidney beans, drained and rinsed (You may also use dry red beans. You have to soak them overnight and cook until the beans are soft.)
1/2 onion, diced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp cumin powder
Salt, to taste
Grated cheese
Sour cream, to serve

Ingredients for Guacomole:

1 avocado
1/2 onion, finely diced
1/2 ripe tomato, finely diced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 small green chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparing Guacamole:

In a medium bowl, mash the avocado using a fork until smooth.
Add the onion, tomato, garlic, chilli and lemon juice and mix well.
Season with salt and pepper.

Preparing Nachos:

Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook onion for about 2 minutes or until browned.
Add mince and cook until browned.
Add red kidney beans, chilli powder, tomato paste, cumin powder, salt and little water. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is thick.
Place a layer of corn chips on an oven-proof plate.

Top with bean and beef mixture.

Cover the mixture with corn chips.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Add another layer of corn chips and sprinkle with cheese again.

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Top with guacamole and sour cream to serve.
