Method

Step 1

To make the nacho seasoning, lightly toast the cumin and coriander seeds and grind them to a fine powder in a pestle and mortar. Add the smoked paprika and oregano and set aside.
Step 2

To make the meat mix, heat some oil in a frypan over medium heat and add the onions, coriander stalks and garlic. Cook until soft.
Step 3

Turn the heat up and add the meat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until well-coloured and add the spiced seasoning mix. Stir to coat well.
Step 4

Add the beans and passata and mix well. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Add the juice of 1 lime (or to taste) and a small handful of chopped, fresh coriander leaves to finish.
Step 5

To make the guacamole, add the flesh of the avocados to a bowl and roughly mash with a fork. Add the coriander leaves and lime and season with salt.
Step 6

Serve with corn chips and chosen toppings.
