This is a boss dinner option for the following reasons:
- Mince can be made in bulk and stored away in the freezer to save you time later.
- Nachos require no time to prep unlike rice or potato
- There is just far too much deliciousness going on and an unbearabley good melody of textures. The crunch of a corn chip, creaminess of avocado and yogurt, chewiness of mince and melt in your mouth sensation of parmesan.
- So nutrient dense! Iron, zinc, b vitamins, omega 3s, tyrosine (think thyroid health) and probiotics. Beyond nourishing!
Ingredients (to make 6-8 meals, halve or double ingredients as you wish):
- 1kg higher welfare beef mince
- 1 tin chopped tomato
- 500g passata
- 2 tbsp stock powder
- 4 tbsp Mexican seasoning
- garlic optional, I have left out as I’m breastfeeding and it tends to give my baby wind
- The toppings (per single bowl):
- 1/4 avocado
- small handful of corn chips
- 1tbsp yogurt
- 1 tbsp parmesan
- salt and pepper to taste
Method:
- In a large pan, heat the mince on medium heat until browned. Add the tinned tomato, passata, stock and herbs. Allow to simmer for 10 or so minutes on a lower heat.
- Spoon out desired amount into a bowl and add the delicious embellishments of corn chips, avocado, yogurt and parmesan.
- Store the rest in the fridge (up to 3 days) or the freezer (up to three months).
Little tip: If you have a blender, try blending cooked pumpkin, cauliflower, zucchini etc and adding it to the mince mix, it is a fabulous way to hide vegetables from little ones with strong opinions.
