15 mins
Serves 6
  • 1 chorizo, casing removed and crumbled
  • 1/2 a tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  • 350 ml beer of your choice
  • 200 g Cheddar cheese, grated
  • 200 g Manchego cheese, grated
  • 80 g mozzarella, grated
  • 1 tsp. cornflour
  • Pinch of nutmeg
Tortilla Chips
  • 3 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 la Banderita Street Tacos
  • Preheat the oven 180°C.
  • Combine the garlic, salt and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Using a pastry brush pastry brush, brush each tortilla with the oil. Cut into triangles and then place in one layer on a tray.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool down completely so they become extra crunchy. These can be made the day before and kept in an airtight container once cooled.
  • For the chorizo topping add remaining oil to a pan over a low heat. Add the chorizo and slow bring up the heat. This will ensure the fat renders and the chorizo crumb becomes crispy.
  • Add the paprika in the few minutes of cooking.
  • Bring the beer to the boil in a saucepan. Combine the cheeses with cornflour. Now turn the heat down to a medium-low and simmer and add the cheeses. Whisk regularly so the cheese melts evenly and becomes gooey. To finish, add nutmeg.
  • To serve pour cheese into bowl and garnish with chorizo and some of the oil from the pan and a sprinkle of spring onion. Serve Tortilla chips on the side.
