Chorizo Nachos
The weekend is approaching, and all we can think about is cosying up on the sofa with a blanket, putting on a great film, and having a big plate of something delicious right next to us!
This delicious chorizo nacho recipe with the bold and warming flavour of chorizo is perfect for those days, but also a very easy nachos recipe to prepare, not to mention incredibly scrumptious! We guarantee that it will satisfy any nacho cravings that you may have.
The main ingredient being chorizo, you’ll know that it’s going to be good. But we transform it into an even tastier version by frying it with onion and garlic, and then adding our beautiful Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste. Chopped tomatoes are then added, and it’s simmered on a low heat until the tomatoes soften into the mixture. This transforms it into a delicious chipotle-chorizo like sauce.
Then all you have to do is to top it with our Gran Luchito Lightly Salted Tortilla Chips, spoonfuls of our Gran Luchito Cantina Beans, grated cheese, raw onion and the delicious chipotle-chorizo mixture. Build two layers of ingredients and bake in the oven until the cheese turns lovely and gooey.
Finally don’t forget to top your nachos with some of our Mexican Gran Luchito Sliced Green Cactus, sour cream and freshly chopped coriander for that perfect final touch.

Ingredients
Chorizo Topping:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 160g / 5 ½ oz of cooking chorizo
- 1 teaspoon Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste
- 1 teaspoon tamari sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
- 5 vine tomatoes, diced
- 125ml / ½ cup water
For The Nachos:
- 1 bag of Gran Luchito Lightly Salted Tortilla Chips
- 225g / 1 ½ cups of Gran Luchito Cantina Beans
- ½ red onion, finely sliced
- 200g / 7 oz grated cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
- ½ jar Mexican Gran Luchito Sliced Green Cactus
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
- To make the chorizo topping, begin by heating the olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and fry gently. Now add the chorizo meat without the casing, and break it into the pan with a spoon. Add the Chipotle Paste, a dash of tamari, a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir, and let it cook for another 5 to 6 minutes approximately, until the chorizo gets crispy.
- Finally, add the tomatoes and ½ cup of water, let it simmer briefly on medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes. When ready, remove your chorizo topping from the heat and reserve.
- In a medium-sized baking dish, add half of your Lightly Salted Tortilla Chips and spread them around. Top them with ½ of the Cantina Beans, red onion, cheese and chorizo mixture. Add another layer of the remaining ingredients, a drizzle of olive oil on top, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place your nachos in the oven until the cheese melts, for 10 minutes approx.
- Remove the nacho tray from the oven and garnish them with sour cream, freshly chopped coriander, and slices of Mexican Sliced Green Cactus on top. So delicious, enjoy!
