Easy Nachos

Mr M is away at the moment so I decided to have a film night last night (New Moon - I needed some Robert Pattinson in my life) and settle down with a large glass of red and some snacks. I wanted to be a little bit more indulgent than usual - normal TV snacks normally consist of a bag on Onion Rings and a Wispa but last night I settled on nachos.

Not entirely authentic, these nachos are perfect for knocking up to scoff in front of the TV, aside from the fact that they are one of the messiest things to eat EVER!

They're incredibly quick to put together and are delicious. You could quite easily have the ingredients in your cupboard/fridge which is another reason why they are so great.

This recipe is adapted from one at BBC Good Food. My ingredient quantities are a bit vague but that's because you can't really go wrong - just adapt to suit your own taste buds. For instance you might want to put on more or less cheese or skip the jalapenos if you don't like them.

Easy Nachos

Ingredients

Large bag of plain tortilla chips
Jar of salsa (I used Old El Paso Original Thick'n'Chunky Salsa)
Couple of sliced spring onions
Cheddar cheese, grated
Pinch of dried chilli flakes
Sliced red jalapenos (from a jar)

To serve;
Soured cream
Guacamole

Method

Tip the tortilla chips into a shallow oven-proof dish, pour over the salsa and scatter the sliced spring onions over the top.

Top with the grated cheese, scatter with a pinch of chilli flakes and a few sliced jalapenos.

Place under a hot grill for around 3-4 minutes - just long enough to melt the cheese.

Serve out of the dish with a large (un)healthy dollop of soured cream and guacamole.

I made enough for two people but as it was my whole dinner I ate the lot. Oink.
