1 In a bowl, combine sour cream, jalapeño and lime juice. Season with pepper, stir and set aside.

2 In a large non-stick frying pan, heat olive oil over medium. Sauté spring onions, garlic and mushrooms for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add chilli powder. Cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, salsa, kidney beans and corn. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, or until vegie mixture is thick.

3 Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°C. In a large baking dish, place corn chips and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 10 minutes, until cheese melts. Top with bean mixture. Arrange avocado over nachos, top with jalapeño sour cream and scatter over coriander. Serve.

Variations

Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free corn chips and check sour cream, chilli powder and salsa are gluten free.

Boost your nachos with pink pickled onions: Put 2 medium red onions, thinly sliced, in a small bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Leave for 10 minutes. Drain water off and pour over ½ cup apple cider vinegar to cover. Leave to stand for at least 5 minutes.

HFG tip

You can use 1½ cups frozen corn kernels if you prefer.
