How to make zingy vegetarian nachos:

  1. Scrape out the advocado into a bowl, add the deseeded tomato, chilli (whole for more heat, or deseeded for less), onion, coriander and lime juice and blend into a smooth puree, add seasoning to taste. Set to one side.
  2. For the salsa, put the chopped onion and red pepper into a hot saucepan with a little oil, fry gently till onions turn trans lucent, add the tinned tomatos, lime juice, and the sugar to the pan and cook for a further 10-15 minutes on a medium heat, season to taste. Allow to cool. Salsa can either be blended for a smooth salsa or left chunky for more texture.
  3. For assembly, add the tortilla chips in a pile to a plate, sprinkle over the salsa, onion, cheese, fresh chillis and coriander. Spoon the sour cream and guacamole around the edges of the plate for dipping!
  4. If you don’t fancy going vegetarian you can always add some small strips of grilled chicken!
