Absolute comfort food, but done DAMN well! This has to be one of my favourite dishes that really fills you up. Typically Nachos are a snacky-style dish – you end up hungry again in an hour. So I’ve added chicken to this and by making my own tortilla chips makes this even more delicious and filling.

Ingredients

• 4 small tortilla wraps
• 2 avocadoes
• 0.5 red onion
• 10 baby plum tomatoes
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 lemon
• Sour cream
• Spring onions
• 70g grated cheddar cheese
• Mild or hot salsa
• 1 chicken breast
• Piri-piri or cajun seasoning

Process

The Tortilla Chips

1. Slice the tortilla chips into pizza-style triangles.
2. Place them flat on a large baking tray with some grease proof paper below them. Spray them with a little oil and bake on 180 for around 10 minutes or until they go golden.
3. Pop a sheet of kitchen roll on a plate, set the chips on there, sprinkle a little salt and set aside.

Guacamole

1. Cut open two avocados and carefully remove the stones. Scope out the meat and add to a bowl.
2. Add a pinch of salt, grate in the garlic clove and add a squeeze of lemon juice before mashing with a fork.
3. Slice the red onion as finely as you can and cut the tomatoes in half, then in thirds.
4. Add and mix well.

The Chicken

1. Slice the chicken breast in half, long ways and cover in your chosen seasoning. I use an oil spray for less calories, so spray a girdle with three spritz of oil and put on a high heat.
2. Add the chicken to the pan and reduce to a medium heat.
3. Turn the chicken after 3/4 minutes.

Put it all together…

1. Using an oven safe tray, add a handful of the tortilla chips adding salsa and cheese. Do the same again as a second layer, and again for a third if you have enough.
2. Add the remaining cheese on top and put in the oven at 180°C.
3. Take out after 5 – 10 minutes add the chicken on top and pop back in for 5 minutes to heat it all up or until the cheese has fully melted.
4. Serve in a large bowl, add the guacamole, sour cream and a sprinkling of the spring onion.

P.s. Add some chili flakes if you want a bit of a kick!!
