Inspirations and top tips

  • Serve on a bed of finely shredded iceberg lettuce in place or as well as corn chips
  • This is a great sharing recipe; serve the mince in one bowl, the corn chips in another and maybe lettuce leaves as well and everyone can make up their own nacho ‘boats’
  • Vary the quantities of chilli and/or spices to suit your heat requirements!
