Ever had a craving for nachos but realised they were full of a whole lotta cheese, colours, flavours, additives and preservatives? I have! So I decided to get creative in the kitchen and whip up something nutritious and delicious with those same Mexican flavours. This dish is so good that we’ve had it on rotation for the last FEW MONTHS! You’ll love this gluten and dairy free option that’s packed full of veg.

Vegetarians – swap chicken mince for black beans and you’re good to go.
