Cut tomato and onion. The first step is to start cutting the tomato into cubes. Make sure to remove the flesh and therefore not actually use the middle part of the tomatoes. We do this because the flesh brings with it a lot of moisture and that means a wet lump which we obviously don't want. You then slash half the red onion nicely.
Get Filling You make sure the BBQ is prepared at 130 degrees indirect heat. Then add the minced meat to the cast iron pan and let it simmer together with the BBQ rub for a few minutes. Then add the tomato cubes and onion. This allows you to simmer for 30-40 minutes. We do this for 30-40 minutes because we have to reduce the moisture released from the ingredients. If you don't do this, it's going to be a wet mess on the nachos and of course we don't want that.
BBQ temperature: 130°CAdd corn If the moisture is reduced you can add the maize and stir it. Your filling is now ready and you can start building the loaded nachos.
Build the loaded nachos First, make sure that the BBQ goes to 180 degrees indirect heat. Then you start building the different ingredients in a large cast iron pan. You start with a layer of nachos. You sprinkle a layer of the made filling and then cheese again. This is repeated 2 to 3 times depending on the size of the pan. When you're done with that, you got a pan that looks like the picture below. Put the pan on the BBQ and close the valve. It takes about 10-15 minutes at this temperature for the cheese to melt nicely.
BBQ temperature: 180°CServe and enjoy After the cheese has melted nicely you can serve the dish. We did this with homemade guacamole which was very tasty! We'll post the recipe for this. Be aware, the cast iron pans hold long heat, so watch out for your fingers.
