FRY THE BEEF MINCE
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally).
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 passata and 150ml of water. Simmer until reduced and thickened, 12-15 minutes. Add a sweetener and seasoning. Remove from the heat.
CHEESE SAUCE
Place a small pot over medium heat with 10g of butter. Once melted, vigorously mix in the cornflour to form a 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 (optional) if the sauce is too thick.
SALSA STEP
In a small bowl, combine the chopped baby tomatoes, the chopped jalapeño (to taste), the remaining onions (to taste), the chopped coriander, and seasoning.
TIME TO FEAST
Make a bed of the nachos or serve on the side for dunking. Lay down the saucy mince, drizzle over the cheese sauce, dollop over the guacamole, and scatter over the tomato salsa. Well done, Chef!
