Pilgrims Choice Extra Mature Cheddar Nachos with Fiery Chilli Salsa

Serves 4
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Suitable for vegetarians

1 x 400g pack tortilla chips
3 large tomatoes, finely chopped
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 green or yellow pepper, de-seeded and finely chopped
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
3 tbsp tomato ketchup
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
6oz (150g) Pilgrims Choice Extra Mature Cheddar, grated
1 large ripe avocado
8 tbsp fresh soured cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / fan oven 180°C / Gas Mark 6.

2. Arrange the tortilla chips in heatproof serving bowls, or on a baking sheet.

3. Make the salsa by mixing together the tomatoes, red onion, pepper, chilli, tomato ketchup and coriander, checking the flavour before you add too much chilli. Season with a little salt and pepper.

4. Dollop spoonfuls of the salsa over the tortilla chips, and put any remaining salsa into a serving bowl. Sprinkle the cheese over the tortilla chips and bake on the top shelf of the oven for 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

5. Meanwhile, halve the avocado and remove the stone, then scoop out the flesh into a serving bowl and mash it with a fork. Season, then serve with the nachos, soured cream and remaining salsa.

SIT BACK AND ENJOY!
