Directions
1Combine all the nachos ingredients in the slow cooker
2Cook on low for 5hrs
3To serve, arrange chips on serving plates, spoon over nachos meat and top with grated cheese (see notes)
4Add a dollop of sour cream and smashed avocado
5— Notes —
6We like to zap the nachos in the microwave for 30-60 seconds per plate to melt the cheese nicely before adding the rest of the toppings, but that’s optional 🙂

8You can replace the 6 spices with a 40g sachet of taco type seasoning if you prefer to make an easier version.

No my kids all enjoy this one just fine – I’d say mild to barely medium at most 🙂

Is this recipe very spicy if you use the spice quantities listed?

Yum this was seriously so good. One of my kids isn’t a fan of red kidney beans so next time I will leave them out. Will definitely make this again

So easy and seriously delicious 😋
One of my kiddies isn’t a fan of corn chips so he made a burrito. Left overs will make Mexican salad bowls for lunch

Just the right kick of spice. This will make for easy weekend meals as the two of us ate one meal with another two going into the freezer.

Family loved this recipe.
Swapped 500g of beef mince for 800g turkey meatballs. Cut 400g of the meatballs into smaller pieces. Left the other 400g in shape (I couldn’t be bothered cutting them up 🤫).
Used whole tin of kidney beans.
Used taco sachet instead of all the spices.
Took lid off for last hour(ish) for sauce to thicken.

Really good! I was a bit unsure about putting raw mince into the slow cooker, but it turned out great. I used lean mince. I did add 1 beef stock cube and some salt and pepper to the mix, but that was it. I used all the herbs except for onion powder as I’d run out. My son demolished his dinner and my daughter said it was really yum.

Oh wow! Best Nachos Ever, even got the approval from my 4yo!! (And no argument about dinner))
My husband who loves Nachos (if it’s on a venue menu- he will generally go for that), he loved this!!
I used the taco seasoning packet and added canned lentils and full tin of kidney beans!
Thank you 🙂

I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve never had refried beans but the texture was very pasty like and not pleasant.
Was also way too hot for the two young ones
A lot of different spices for not a great result.
