METHOD
- Mince: (a) If using the store bought vegan mince add it in a pan with 400ml water. Mix and stir, cooking for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Heat a little oil in a pan and sauté the mince for about 5 minutes. Set aside.

- Make your guacamole by mashing the avocado and season with the lime juice, salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble your nacho bowls by adding corn chips, the cooked mince, salsa, cheese sauce, cherry tomatoes and the guacamole. Sprinkle with spring onions and serve.

- Heat the olive oil in a pot on medium-to-high.
- Once the oil heats up, stir in the flour, and stir continuously.
