Here’s how

1 Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the oil to an ovenproof pan and fry the chicken until golden brown. Add the chakalaka, beans and spinach and cook until the mixture is heated through. Add the coriander and remove the pan from the heat.

2 Preheat the oven’s grill element. Arrange the tortilla chips upright in concentric circles in the chicken mixture (or layer them in an oven dish). Scatter over the cheese and onion. Put the pan under the element until the cheese has melted and the chips start to change colour. Serve hot with fresh avocado. Sour cream on the side also goes well with the nachos.
