The nachos have three layers: the bottom layer is crispy yellow corn chips, the middle layer has melted white cheese evenly covering the chips, and the top layer is scattered with red salsa, green sliced jalapeños, and fresh green cilantro leaves.

Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil
1 red onion, diced
½ Scotch bonnet chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
400g can chopped tomatoes
½ x 295g bottle Levi Roots Love Apple Tomato sauce or tomato sauce with a good splash of Tabasco
½ tsp allspice
2 x 200g bags tortilla chips
200g jar sliced jalapeno chillies
2 x 125g balls mozzarella, torn
small handful coriander, chopped
230g tub fresh guacamole
½ x 300ml pot soured cream

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan) or gas mark 7. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Step 2: Add the diced red onion and Scotch bonnet chilli to the pan. Cook gently for a few minutes until softened.
Step 3: Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, and allspice. Let the mixture bubble for about 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Step 4: Arrange the tortilla chips in a large ovenproof dish or plate. Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the chips.
Step 5: Sprinkle the sliced jalapeños and torn mozzarella over the sauced chips.
Step 6: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbling.
Step 7: Remove from the oven and scatter chopped coriander on top. Serve immediately with fresh guacamole and soured cream on the side.

Tips & Variations

Use milder chillies if you prefer less heat, or add extra jalapeños for a spicier kick.
Try swapping mozzarella for a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack for a richer flavor.
For added protein, top with cooked shredded chicken or black beans before baking.
Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over for a fresh citrus burst.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the nachos in a preheated oven at 180°C (160°C fan) for 5-7 minutes to regain some crispiness. Avoid microwaving as this can make the chips soggy.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes, you can substitute the mozzarella with a plant-based cheese alternative and replace soured cream with a dairy-free yogurt or cashew cream. Ensure the tomato sauce is also free from animal ingredients.

What if I don’t have Scotch bonnet chilli?

You can use another hot chilli pepper such as habanero or a milder option like a red chilli or cayenne powder. Adjust the amount to your heat preference.
