Caramelised onion and chorizo nachos🌮🌮
-Caramelized onion and chorizo nachos are a delicious and flavorful twist on traditional nachos, adding the rich sweetness of caramelized onions and the smoky, spicy kick of chorizo sausage.
Ingredients:
2 large onions, sliced
2 tsp sunflower oil
1 tsp brown sugar
100g monterey jack or cheddar cheese, grated
1 tbsp American mustard, plus extra to serve
100g bag corn tortilla chips
150g piece chorizo, thinly sliced
2 tbsp pickled jalapeños, finely chopped
1 small red chillies, finely sliced (optional)
2 tomatoes, diced
3 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tbsp lime juice
100g soured cream
Directions:
-Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Soften the onions in the oil over a low heat for about 25-30 minutes until really soft and squidgy. Stir in the sugar and keep cooking for a few minutes more until golden brown. Roughly chop 2 tbsp of the onions and set aside in a mixing bowl.
-Mix the grated cheese and mustard together. Take a roasting tin or large baking dish and layer up the tortilla chips with the caramelised onions, chorizo slices, jalapeños, chilli (if using) and blobs of the mustardy cheese.
-Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted and tortilla chips toast at the edges.
-Meanwhile mix the diced tomatoes, reserved chopped onions, ketchup and lime juice. Dollop the salsa over the baked nachos, then drizzle with the soured cream – loosened with a teaspoon or two of water. Sq**rt over a bit more american mustard if you like, and eat immediately.
