NACHO FILLING
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the sliced red onion for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add the Mexican Rub to taste and fry for another minute. Add the cooked chopped tomatoes, drained kidney beans, and 50ml of water. Stir to combine and allow to simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened.
STUFF YOUR CHILLI
While the nacho sauce is reducing, make your chilli relleno! First, combine the crème fraîche with 1 tbsp of the grated cheese. Make a horizontal incision along one side of the jalapeño, keeping the stem intact. It should be just deep enough to allow you to remove and discard the seeds. Stuff the deseeded jalapenõ with the crème fraîche and cheese mixture and set aside.
COMPLETE THE FILLING
Once the sauce has thickened, stir through the corn, a squeeze of lemon juice, and some sweetener of choice to taste. Season to taste and remove the pan from the heat.
GET YOUR BAKE ON
Spread a layer of corn nachos over the bottom of a roasting tray. Evenly spoon over half of the nacho sauce and scatter over half of the remaining grated cheese. Repeat this process once more to create another layer of each, using up the rest of the grated cheese. Place the chilli relleno on top of the nachos, pop the tray in the oven, and bake for 6-8 minutes until the cheese has melted.
AVO GLORY
While the nachos are in the oven, halve the avocado and set aside the half containing the pip for another meal. Scoop out the avocado flesh and place in a bowl. Mash with a fork until it forms a chunky guacamole. Add three-quarters of the chopped chives, a squeeze of lemon juice to taste, and some seasoning. Mix well to combine.
NACHO TIME!
For serving, you can eat the cheesy corn nachos right out of the tray, or dish up on a plate. Dollop with the homemade guacamole and any remaining crème fraîche and cheese mixture. Top with the chilli relleno and sprinkle over the remaining chopped chives. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side and get stuck in!
