What do you call cheese that isn’t yours? It’s nacho cheese! Luckily for you, we don’t just have cheesy words, we also have cheesy nachos (and they’re all yours). The saucy topping includes our Mexican Fiesta for delicious heat and flavour, and we've added chopped tomato and sour cream for a refreshing balance. The combination on this tasty meal is no joke!

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Slice each mini flour tortilla into 8 wedges. Finely chop the tomato. Roughly chop the coriander. Cut the lime into wedges. Grate the Cheddar cheese.
Arrange the tortilla wedges over an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle or spray with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden and crispy, 6-7 minutes.
While the tortillas are baking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 3-4 minutes or until browned. Add the Mexican Fiesta spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. SPICY: You may find the spice blend hot! Feel free to add less, depending on your taste.
Add the tomato paste (see ingredients list) and the water to the frying pan with the beef and stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. TIP: Don't cook it for too long, you want the nachos to be nice and saucy!
Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over the beef mixture, cover with a lid or foil and cook until the cheese has melted, 2-3 minutes.
Divide the tortilla chips between plates and top with the cheesy beef mixture. Finish the nachos with a dollop of sour cream (see ingredients list) and the tomato. Garnish with the coriander and serve with lime wedges. TIP: Serve the tortillas chips on the side if you prefer!
