Tortilla Chips

Method

Preparation of Tuna Mixture

  1. 1

    Mix Tuna Salad

    In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped red onion, chopped celery, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Assembly of Nachos

  1. 2

    Layer the Chips

    On a large serving platter or baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.

  2. 3

    Add Tuna Mixture

    Spoon the tuna mixture evenly over the tortilla chips, ensuring each chip has some topping.

  3. 4

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the tuna-covered chips. Then, add sliced jalapeños, halved cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.

Final Steps

  1. 5

    Bake the Nachos

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the assembled nachos in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the nachos from the oven, and top with sliced avocado and lime wedges. Serve immediately while hot.
