Create a slightly healthier bowl of nachos for family movie night by toning down the cheese, ditching the sour cream and serving with lots of crunchy diced peppers, avocado, tomato, coriander, and lime. Substitute some of the peppers for sweetcorn if you have it to hand.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- Large bag of your preferred nacho chips
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 red pepper
- 1-2 handfuls of your preferred free-from-cheese or cheddar, grated
- 2 avocados
- 1 punnet of tomatoes (any variety)
- Small bunch coriander
- 1 lime
Method
Takes 15 minutes
- Heat your oven or grill to medium. Line baking sheets with parchment, top with nacho chips and then add diced peppers and a little grated cheddar.
- Cook until the cheese is melted and golden and the chips are starting to brown at the edges.
- Top with diced avocado and tomato, scatter over chopped coriander and serve with lime to squeeze over.
