    Easy as nachos

    Serves: 4  |  Time to make: 30 - 45 mins  |  Meal type: Dinner

    Ingredients

    • 5 x 18cm pita bread
    • 2 tbsp oil
    • 1 x 400g can chilli beans
    • 1½ cups corn kernels, (fresh, frozen or canned)
    • 1 cup grated cheese
    • 1½ cups grated carrot
    • 1½ cups chopped tomatoes
    • 2 cups shredded lettuce
    • ½ cup reduced fat sour cream

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 140°C.
    2. Cut the pita bread into 8 wedges then pull the sides of each wedge apart to create 2 chips per wedge.
    3. Place pita chips in a large bowl and mix through the oil.
    4. Spread out evenly in one layer on roasting trays.  Cook in batches if you have limited oven space.
    5. Bake chips for approximately 10 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned.
    6. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
    7. Heat chilli beans and corn, either mixed together or separately.
    8. Sprinkle the cheese over the chips in the roasting tray and return to the oven for 2 minutes to melt.
    9. Layer the chips with all the other toppings and place in the centre of the table.

    Tips:

    1. Mix the chopped tomatoes with diced red onion and a little lemon juice or vinegar to make a tomato salsa.
    2. Make easy guacamole with mashed avocado and lemon juice.
    3. Spice it up with more chilli - raw, pickled, smoked or made into a chilli sauce.
    4. Add chopped capsicum to the chilli beans
    5. This is a great meal for children to select their own foods. Serve everything in separate bowls and let them build their own version.
    6. For serving on individual plates, you can load up each plate with chips, beans and grated cheese. Grill for 2 minutes to melt the cheese. Be careful - the plates will get hot!
