Best nachos topping ideas?
Everyone’s tastes are different, coriander/cilantro may send you weak at the knees or running for the hills, which is why this recipe is perfect, it’s completely customisable to your family’s tastes. Aside from the topping ideas listed in the recipe, the kids love to top our nachos with finely shredded iceberg lettuce or red cabbage. The crunch of the veggies works well with the creaminess of the guacamole and sour cream. We also love corn, roasted capsicum/bell peppers, pickled onions (recipe) and chipotle mayonnaise, all which pair well with Mexican flavours!
Ways to adapt this Nachos recipe
Aside from the topping swaps suggested above, you can swap out the beef for an additional tin of beans of choice to make this meal completely vegetarian, or swap out the beans for an additional 250 g of beef mince /ground beef to satisfy “non-legume lovers”. Shredded leftover chicken also works well.
