  1. FRY THE OSTRICH MINCE

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).

  2. ADD SOME TOMATO

    Add ¾ of the diced onion and fry until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the Mexican spice and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the cooked chopped tomato and 150ml of water. Simmer until reduced and thickened, 12-15 minutes. Add a sweetener and seasoning. Remove from the heat.

  3. CHEESE SAUCE

    Place a small pot over medium heat with 10g of butter. Once melted, vigorously mix in the cornflour to form the roux. Cook out the flour, 1-2 minutes (stirring constantly). Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Once the milk is incorporated, mix in the grated cheese until melted. Season and remove from the heat. Add a splash of water or milk (from your kitchen) if the sauce is too thick.

  4. SALSA STEP

    Halve the avocado and set aside half for another meal. Peel off the avocado skin. Roughly dice and season. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, the chopped jalapeño (to taste), the remaining onions (to taste), the chopped coriander, and seasoning.

  5. TIME TO FEAST

    Make a bed of the nachos or serve on the side for dunking. Lay down the saucy ostrich mince, drizzle over the cheese sauce, and scatter over the avocado and the tomato salsa. Well done, Chef!
