    This nachos with spicy salsa was such an easy recipe to come up with.

    The spicy salsa itself literally takes no more than 10 minutes to make.

    Then the only addition you need to the salsa is a bag of tortilla chips.

    Just spread the tortilla chips in an oven proof dish.

    Cover them with the spicy salsa mixture and some grated cheese.

    Then place under your grill, melt the cheese over the top and voila!

    Top Tips For The Best Nachos With Spicy Salsa

    • Keep your toppings "light" so that you don't make the Nachos soggy
    • It's better to make batches of this recipe than to double the ingredients to try and make larger portions if making to serve to many guests
    • Serve with additional jalapeno's if you like it really spicy
    • Add canned beans if you want to make this more of a meal
    • Serve with a low fat plain yogurt
    • Serve and eat immediately whilst still warm and do not try to reheat (or they end up soggy! 😉 )
