Out of the Box Cooking

Graveyard-Nachos

I saw a similar recipe on pinterest for a taco dip (vegeterian though) here. I had to attempt this awesome dish so, I adapted this into a meatier version. I had so much fun making this dish, so much for never ‘play with your food’.

What you’ll need for this:

Ingredients

1 small brown onion
1 small red capsicum (bell pepper)
500g mince meat
1 packet of Old El Paso Taco mix
1 can of Old El Paso Mexe-Beans
2 cups of sour cream
1 avocdo
1 clove garlic, diced
2 jars of Old El Paso Salsa (mild, medium or hot depending on your preference)
1 bunch of spring onions

For the tombstones:

2 large tortillas
Black writing icing

Serves 6

Method:

1. Chop the onion and capsicum (keep them separate) into 1 inch pieces

5. Pour the Taco mix and Mexe-beans over the meat and mix it in well. This should take about 60-90 seconds. Once it’s mixed in, set aside in a seperate bowl.

6. Using the same frypan, brown the chopped garlic. Meanwhile, crush the avocado in a small bowl. Once the garlic is brown, stir it into the avocado mix.

To make the tombstones and tree:

1. pre-heat the oven to 180*C
2. use a pair of scissors and cut out the shapes of the tombstones and tree
3. place the shapes onto a lined baking tray and cook for 5 minutes, or until brown
4. let them cool, then using the writing pen, add the “RIP” and crosses text on a few

ADDING IT ALL TOGETHER

Layer-Steps

1. First Layer:  the mince, onion and capsicum mix in a large
2. Second Layer: pour over the 2 cups of sour cream and add the avocado and garlic. Use a spoon or fork to spread it evenly across the meat
3. Third Layer: Pour over the Salsa and spread evenly
4. Fourth Layer: Sprinkle the chopped spring onions evenly across the top

Add the tombstones and serve. This can be served hot, or chilled (it’s delicious either way!)
