Notes from the Cape

For the whole of Sunday, I had Mexican food on my brain, so I had to do something about it. I think that the bottle of Habanero sauce that Carlos gave us was a major cause of this problem.

So, when Sunday evening arrived, I simply had to cook up some Nacho’s.

Grilled Nacho’s with chicken and bacon

This is the world’s easiest, and probably the world’s most unhealthy meal, but it is so good. It is very simple to make.

Ingredients

• 1 onion
• 2 T chopped fresh garlic
• 100g chicken breast per person, chopped
• chilli sauce or about 3-4 fresh chillis (ok I like it hot)
• 1 Packet of unflavoured nachos
• 1 red or orange pepper, diced
• 100g cheddar/mozzarella cheese, grated

Method

• Fry an onion and a generous amount of garlic.
• Add about 100g chopped chicken breast, and fry.
• Add chilli sauce or fresh chopped chilli (I was lazy and threw in some peri-peri sauce)
• Put some Nachos in a heat-proof oven dish
• Put the fried ingredients onto the Nacho’s
• Add some freshly chopped red or orange pepper
• Add grated cheddar/mozzarella cheese
• Grill until golden
• Add some fresh chilli
• Serve with guacamole and salsa

Lois is vegetarian, so just skip the meet if you would prefer. I also found about 1/4 packet of bacon in the freezer which I added as well.

Here’s the vegetarian version
