Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Cooking Time: 3 hours (including slow cooking the beef)

Serves: 6 portions

For the Pulled Beef:

  • 600g beef brisket
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp hot smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp chilli powder (adjust to taste)
  • 400ml beef stock
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Chilli Con Carne:

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red pepper, chopped
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 tin (400g) chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tin (400g) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp hot smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp chilli powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Nachos:

  • 300g tortilla chips
  • 150g grated cheddar cheese
  • 150g grated mozzarella cheese
  • Sour cream, guacamole, jalapeños, and fresh coriander, for serving

Prepare the Pulled Beef:

  •  Preheat your oven to 150°C (130°C fan) or gas mark 2
  • Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes
  • Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, oregano, and chilli powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the beef brisket to the pot, browning on all sides.
  • Pour in the beef stock and stir in the tomato purée. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cover the pot with a lid and place in the oven. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
  • Once cooked, remove the beef from the pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside.

Make the Chilli Con Carne:

  • In a separate large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, red pepper, and green pepper, cooking for another 5 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, chilli powder, and cinnamon. Cook for another minute.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  • Stir in the kidney beans and allow the chilli to cook on low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the pulled beef to the chilli con carne and mix well. Allow to simmer for an additional 10 minutes to let the flavours meld together.

Assemble the Nachos:

  • Preheat your grill (broiler) to high.
  • On a large ovenproof tray or dish, spread out a layer of tortilla chips.
  • Spoon over a generous amount of the chilli con carne with pulled beef.
  • Sprinkle a layer of grated cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the top.
  • Repeat with another layer of tortilla chips, chilli, and cheese.
  • Place the tray under the grill for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

  • Remove the nachos from the grill and serve immediately.
  • Garnish with sour cream, guacamole, jalapeños, and fresh coriander. Enjoy!
