Why this works

Very energy-dense and high in saturated fat and sodium, with moderate protein and low fibre; best enjoyed as an occasional sharing dish.

High saturated fat. Chorizo, cheese, mayonnaise and soured cream make this dish particularly high in saturated fat, which can be a concern for heart health if eaten frequently.

Sodium content. Chorizo and tortilla chips are likely the main contributors to sodium, so this recipe may be quite salty per serving.

Calcium and protein. Cheese and soured cream provide calcium and some protein, though the overall dish is still very rich.

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C (Fan 180°C, 392°F, Gas Mark 6).
Slice the chorizo sausages and cook in a frying pan over a medium heat for 4–5 minutes until the fat renders and the edges start to crisp.
Arrange the tortilla chips in a shallow ovenproof dish, then scatter over the chorizo and grated cheese.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the nachos are hot and bubbling.
Stir the mayonnaise with a little water until spoonable, then drizzle over the nachos before serving.
