Method
Ingredients
1. Combine all the guacamole ingredients in a bowl using a potato masher. Set aside until ready to use.
2. To make the spiced beans, heat the olive oil in a pan. Fry the butter beans until they start to caramelise a bit. Add the remaining ingredients except the baby spinach and gently caramelise for a further 5 minutes. Add the spinach and sauté just until it begins to wilt. Season to taste.
3. Heat the oil for frying to 160°C. Fry the tortilla until golden brown and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper.
4. Arrange the tortilla crisps on a platter, dollop generously with the guacamole and sour cream and top with the beans. Finish off with lashings of coriander pesto, chilli flakes, lime juice and zest.
Cook's note: I used shop-bought flour wraps for a twist on regular nachos, but feel free to use any nacho chip you fancy.
