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 tomato and sour cream for a refreshing balance. The combination on this tasty meal is no joke!

Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Slice the mini flour tortillas into wedges. Finely chop the tomato. Finely chop the cucumber. Thinly slice the brown onion. Grate the carrot.
Arrange the tortilla wedges over a lined oven tray. Drizzle (or spray) with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until golden and crispy.
TIP: Keep an eye on them. You want them crisp, but not burnt!
SPICY! The spice blend is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat.
While the tortillas are baking, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the onion until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon until browned, 3-4 minutes. Add the carrot and Mexican Fiesta spice blend and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and water to 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 shredded Cheddar cheese over the beef mixture, cover with a lid (or foil) and cook until the cheese has melted, 2-3 minutes.
Cut the lime into wedges. Divide the tortilla chips between plates and top with the cheesy beef mixture. Serve with the sour cream, tomato, cucumber and lime wedges.
