Tortilla chips, spiced beef mince and melted cheese in layers, baked in a round enamel dish and topped with fresh salsa. The dish goes straight to the table for everyone to dig in.

Loaded baked nachos are tortilla chips layered with taco-spiced beef mince and grated cheese, then baked in a hot oven until the cheese bubbles. Let the beef cook down until almost dry and add the salsa only after baking, so the chips stay crisp.

Ingredients

Serves 4

300 g beef mince
1 onion
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp chilli powder
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp tomato purée
50 ml water
150 g tortilla chips
150 g grated Cheddar

Salsa and topping

2 tomatoes
½ red onion
½ lime
2 tbsp chopped coriander
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
2 spring onions, sliced
Salt

To serve

200 ml soured cream or guacamole

Method

Heat the oven to 225 °C. Finely chop the onion and fry it in the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
Add the mince and fry, breaking it up, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the paprika, cumin, oregano, chilli powder, salt, tomato purée and water and simmer for 3–4 minutes until almost dry.
Meanwhile, make the salsa: dice the tomatoes, finely chop the red onion and mix with the lime juice, coriander and a pinch of salt.
Layer half the chips, half the beef and half the cheese in the oven dish, then repeat.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and is bubbling and the chips are golden at the edges.
Top with the salsa, jalapeño and spring onion and serve straight away with soured cream or guacamole.

Why it works

The enamel dish spreads the heat evenly, so the cheese melts right across while the chips along the low sides turn crisp. The smooth enamel means baked-on cheese comes away easily after a short soak.
