… Charred Avo & Popcorn Beans\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I fancied something quick tonight.\u00a0 Now I know that is a stupid thing to say because all these meals are quick.\u00a0 Most of the ones I have done have been in or around the fifteen minute mark with only two over twenty minutes.\u00a0 Even twenty minutes or so is a quick meal.\u00a0 However some of the meals feel quicker than others.\u00a0 I guess what I mean is some of them feel a bit more snacky than others.\u00a0 This is what I fancied tonight. So I chose this meal.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The nachos are the fist thing you cook.\u00a0 They go under the grill sprinkled with cheese and chillis.\u00a0 I came really quite close to burning them, but I rescued them just in time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jamie seems to use a lot of avocados in these meals.\u00a0 This is no bad thing. I like avocados.\u00a0 You put pealed and quartered avocados in the griddle pan \u2013 the black lines look pretty at the end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I would say that the best thing about this meal is the beans.\u00a0 Using a tin of kidney beans and a tin of mixed beans you make a kind of refried beans type thing, although less refried than normal refried beans.\u00a0 I really like refried beans.\u00a0 I like nachos and I make nachos in one form or another relatively often and enjoy this sat in front of a film with a beer or two.\u00a0 If I don\u2019t have refried beans with the nachos I feel a bit cheated.\u00a0 I have made refried beans from scratch a few times, but also buy the ready made ones as well.\u00a0 I would almost say that I preferred these beans.\u00a0 There is more texture with these and they look great all burst up and gnarly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This was a nice meal and perfect for an evening when I felt more like a quick snack than a proper meal.\u00a0 Oh and it was quicker than most as well. <\/span><\/p>\n
