Method

1. Heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the onion with the cumin and chipotle, stir in the garlic. Cook for a few mins, then add the turkey and black beans. Cook for 5 mins, take off the heat and set aside.

2. Spread the tortilla chips over a large roasting tin or baking dish. Cut up the cheese into small cubes, about 1cm cubed.

3. Heat the oven to gas 6, 180°C, fan 160°C.

4. Layer on your nacho toppings: first the turkey and beans, spread evenly over the chips. Then top with the bacon, dot with the cranberry sauce and top with the cheese. Bake for 10-15 mins until the cheese has just melted.

5. Remove from the oven and top with spoonfuls of the jalapenos, avocado, lime wedges and coriander, then serve.
