To make the family-favourite dish, Adele started by heating oil in a pan. Next, she added the beef mince, and cooked until brown.
She added the beans, and stirred them through until well combined.
‘Give them a little squish so they mix with the mince,’ she said.
She then added the taco mix, followed with the tomato passata, and stirring occasionally until the sauce has thickened.
In a large, deep baking tray, she arranged a layer of corn chips, topped with the mince sauce and sprinkled with cheese.

She baked it in a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes, or until hot and cheese has melted on top.
In the meantime, she prepared a fresh ingredients for the topping – including the diced tomatoes, shredded ice berg lettuce, and spring onion for garnishing.
To make a simple guacamole, she added diced avocado in a bowl, squeezed in half a lemon, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste and mixed well.
She pulled the tachos out of the oven, and topped with lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole and sour cream and sprinkle with spring onion.
Adele said the dish cost just $4.03 per serve and it’s a ‘delicious comfort food for the family’
Her post was met with more than 1,900 ‘likes’, with many saying they couldn’t wait to give her recipe a go.
‘This sounds like the most delicious thing in the world,’ one wrote, while another said: ‘Yum. Dinner sorted for tomorrow! Kidney beans are a good substitute if you don’t have Mexican Beans.’
And another mum added: ‘Love it! I like the addition of the fresh salad on it. We like to do nachos with a bbq slow cooked pulled pork. We make a big batch of pulled pork and freeze for lazy days.’
Some parents revealed they have made a similar dish for their family to enjoy.
‘We call them haystacks, load them with any salad you can think of. Been a Saturday family lunch for many years, so easy when you have a large amount of people to feed,’ one woman said.
While another added: ‘We do the same but sometimes we do the mince on top of roast sweet potatoes and add the rest on top.’
