Recipe notes
Beans – If you don’t have Wattie’s Mild Chili Beans on hand, try using red kidney beans, pinto beans or black beans as a substitute. To add in the lost spice, pop in a good-sized dash of Mexican seasoning or a heaped teaspoon of cumin and smoked paprika, along with a bit of chili powder.

Cheese – Nachos are best with a combination of mozzarella (for stretch) and a hard shredded cheese like cheddar, tasty or Edam. However, whatever cheese you have on hand should be fine, as long as it melts.

Oven – if you want to make sure your cheese is melted and your tortilla chips are nice and hot, pop the nachos in the oven for a few minutes prior to serving.

Vegetables – Nachos are a great meal to sneak hidden veggies into the kids. Grated carrot, courgetti, bell peppers and mushrooms are all excellent additions to the mixture.

Spice – For an extra kick, substitute the Wattie’s Mild Chili Beans for the Medium or Hot variety. If you don’t have these handy, try adding some chili sauce, chili flakes, or chili powder for additional heat.
