Ingredients

• 300 g beef mince
• 1 tin black beans (240 g)
• 200 g tortilla chips (without seed oils, e.g. made with avocado oil or olive oil)
• 1 onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 avocado
• 2 tomatoes (diced)
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 200 g grated cheddar or Gouda
• 2 jalapeños (fresh or from a jar)
• 100 g soured cream
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• Coriander

Method

You’ll need: oven · frying pan · baking dish · baking tray · chopping board · knife · grater · wooden spoon

1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (180 °C fan). Finely dice the onion, chop the garlic, cut the tomatoes into small pieces, slice the avocado and drizzle it with a little lime juice.
2. Fry the beef mince in a frying pan with olive oil until browned and crumbly. Add the onion and garlic and fry briefly, then stir in the cumin and paprika.
3. Fold the black beans into the mince and heat everything through briefly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Spread the tortilla chips on a baking tray or in an ovenproof dish. Spoon the mince and bean mixture on top, sprinkle with the cheese and scatter over the jalapeños.
5. Bake at 200 °C for 8–10 min, until the cheese has melted and is lightly golden.
6. Take out of the oven and serve with the tomatoes, avocado, soured cream, coriander and lime juice.

Good to know

This is the kind of food that goes straight to the middle of the table. Savoury, crunchy, juicy – and done in a few steps.

Swaps

Cheddar → goat's cheese (often a little stronger in flavour, so a smaller amount is usually enough); soured cream → Greek yoghurt (more protein); beef mince → chicken mince (usually a little leaner)
