One of our favourite Tex-Mex recipes, these Chilli Beef Nachos have always been a firm favourite down the local pub with friends. Whilst not a typical Mexican dish, there’s no taking away that this beef nacho recipe tastes mighty fine!
The key to an easy beef nachos recipe, or any nachos recipe, is to make everything from scratch in advance so it is more of an assembly job with a quick blast under the grill. This recipe is best with some chilli con carne that has been made in advance, there’s something about letting the chilli con carne sit in the fridge for a day, allowing the flavours to come together even more. Our Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste works wonders in the beef chilli and we went all out by making guacamole and salsa to go with it.
Serve these beef chilli nachos with some frijoles and this pulled pork chimichanga recipe.
