Turkey Nachos Recipe
Turkey Nachos
Ingredients
- 350 g Cooked Turkey roughly chopped
- 1 medium Brown Onion diced
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Chipotle Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- 175 g Tomato Salsa
- 250 g Corn Tortilla Chips
- 200 g Cheddar Cheese grated
- 400 g Black Beans drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp Coriander chopped
- 1 medium Avocado sliced
- 1 lime cut into eighths
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 230C (210C fan) and spread the tortilla chips evenly over a baking sheet; set aside.
- In a small bowl combine the garlic powder, paprika, chipotle chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper; set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the turkey and the spices, tossing together to ensure evenly coated. Allow to cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through. Add the salsa mix to combine.
- While the turkey mixture is cooking, place the black beans into a small pan and heat over a low heat until thoroughly warmed through.
- Once the beans and turkey are heated through, begin assembling the nachos. Sprinkle ¼ of the cheese over the tortilla chips, then cover with the beans followed by the turkey. Finally add the remaining ¾ cheese on top. Place into the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and everything is heated through.
- Top with avocado, lime and coriander and enjoy!
