If you’re not the biggest fan of raw red onion in the salad, use the whole onion for the pulled beef nachos mixture
Ingredients
PULLED BEEF
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 400g pulled beef
- 500g pouch nacho tomato sauce
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup grated Colby cheese
SUMMER SALAD
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (e.g. red wine, white wine, cider)
- ½ iceberg lettuce
- ¼–½ red onion (optional, adults)
- 1 carrot
- ½ punnet cherry tomatoes
GUACAMOLE
- 1 avocado
- 1 teaspoon sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
TO SERVE
- 1 packet corn chips
Steps
-
oven grill to high.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, oven-proof, fry-pan on mediumhigh heat. Cook first measure of red onion for about 2 minutes, until starting to soften. Add pulled beef and nacho tomato sauce and cook for about 1 minute, breaking up beef with a wooden spoon.
-
Add black beans to beef mixture and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5–8 minutes, until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
While beef mixture cooks, prepare summer salad. Mix sour cream, mayonnaise and vinegar together in a large bowl until smooth. Finely shred lettuce; thinly slice second measure of red onion (if using); grate carrot. Add to bowl with dressing and cherry tomatoes and toss well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Sprinkle grated cheese over beef mixture and grill for 3–5 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden. If you do not have an oven-proof pan, transfer beef mixture to a baking dish and top with cheese before grilling.
-
While cheese grills, prepare guacamole. Add all guacamole ingredients to a small bowl and mash with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
-
Divide pulled beef and summer salad between plates. Top pulled beef with a dollop of guacamole and serve corn chips and any extra sour cream on the side.
