Whilst we can’t promise that making Nachos at home will be as much fun as Robin Williams and Martha Stewart are having in this video, we can try…

Yeah, I know. Tacos are not Nachos, but Robin Williams was a funny guy.

More Veggies & Fibre

Do you need to hide vegetables or want to add more vegetables to your evening meal? How about bulking out the mince with extra veggies like red capsicum, zucchini, mushrooms, or even a handful of baby spinach for colour and nutrition?
Add a can of black beans or red kidney beans for extra fibre and plant-based protein. These are classic nacho ingredients and can easily turn this meal into a serving for four or more.

Nutrition Information

This recipe is a balanced mix of protein, fibre, and veggies. Using wraps instead of packaged chips lowers the sodium and fat, and you can boost the veggies to suit your taste. For a lighter option, swap to lean mince, chicken, or turkey.

Topping Ideas

You can let your imagination guid you with your favourite nacho toppings: guacamole, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, fresh coriander, diced red onion, salsa, and lime wedges for a fresh finish.

Make-Ahead & Freezer Tips

You can prepare this flavourful mince and freeze it for busy weeks. Serve it however you like, keep reading, I’ve got ideas……

Dietary Swaps

What about chicken or turkey mince for a lighter option, or lentils or beans for a vegetarian option?
This can be made gluten-free as well, choose gluten-free wraps or corn chips.

Healthier Choices

Make your own wraps or pita bread, use wholegrain wraps for the nacho chips, and use low-fat cheese if you prefer.
You can load up on veggies, use lean mince or beans, or serve nachos with a healthy salad, making them a balanced meal.

Serving Suggestions

I often serve this on a large wooden board with salads and toppings on the side so people can choose what they want to add to their plates.
You can make this for a bring-a-plate affair. Just bring the meat, toppings, and corn chips in separate containers and plate them up when you arrive.
What about making this a dinner party treat and offering other Mexican dishes to go with it? I have a recipe for Chicken Tortillas. This Smokey Pulled Pork would also be great to serve with it, and it’s easily made in a slow cooker. And what about the dessert of Churros?

Variations & Leftovers

I doubt you’d have any leftover mince, but if you did, you could use it another night for my Taco Taters for zero waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find your Taco Blend?

You can find our Taco Seasoning here. You’ll love it, I use it in so many recipes.

What else can I add?

Try black beans, red kidney beans, jalapeños, or swap cheese for a dairy-free alternative.

Can I freeze the mince?

Yes, the cooked mince freezes well for up to 2 months.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Absolutely! Use gluten-free wraps and check your taco seasoning.

Can I use an earlier model Thermomix TM31 or TM5?

Not really. We need the TM6 or later, in order to access “high heat” mode, which is important for developing the big flavours we expect from Nachos.
