This is the recipe for the mince component for nachos. This would work for tacos, Chimichangas or the Tortilla Pie I posted the other day.

This is a budget friendly meal as it only uses 250g of mince and feeds a family of four to eight. You bulk this meal out with lots of veggies and red lentils. If you want a bigger quantity just add more veggies or lentils.

    Love this meal!! It’s now become a regular family favourite along with an easy avocado dip, some salsa and sour cream. I make your taco seasoning and have the level of spiciness just right! It easily feeds my family of 9 with left-overs which tasted great served on top of some fettuccine!!

    Do you reckon the thermomix could handle doubling the mixture?

    Another awesome recipe Peta – thank you!!! I halved the recipe with no problems, and also cooked the mince in the basket so it was lovely and chunky for my (fussy) husband. Thanks for turning a not-so-healthy meal into something we can enjoy regularly.
