Ingredients
1 Tbsp. sunflower oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 green chillies, 1 finely chopped and 1 sliced
400 g tin chopped tomatoes
1/2 tsp caster sugar
2 x 160 g tins tuna in spring water, drained
Small bunch coriander, roughly chopped
200 g plain tortilla chips
125 g strong Cheddar, coarsely grated
75 g guacamole
2 spring onions, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan) mark 7. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and fry onion for 5min. Add garlic and finely chopped chilli and fry for 1min. Stir in tomatoes, sugar, tuna and most of the coriander. Check seasoning.
Step 2
Put half the tortilla chips in the base of a deep ovenproof dish. Top with half the tuna mixture and scatter over half the cheese. Layer on remaining tortillas, tuna mixture and cheese.
Step 3
Cook in oven for 10min until piping hot and cheese has melted. Dollop on guacamole and scatter over sliced chilli, spring onions and remaining coriander. Serve immediately.
This would also work well with leftover chicken, instead of the tuna if you prefer. Just make sure that the chicken is piping hot all the way through in the sauce, before layering with the tortilla chips.
