Nachos with Baked Chilli Cheese Corn

Nachos are supposed to be loved by all alike.. It serves as a perfect evening snack.. I generally like having nachos topped with sour cream, guacamole and few topping (corn, kidney beans, capsicum, tomatoes ).. But it is rare that i find avocado anywhere near my place.. So having nachos topped with guacamole was very rare.. I had to find an alternative to spice up my love for nachos..  And then I came up with this version of baked chilli cheese corn to be served with nachos.. And trust me, this cheesy delight is an amazing thing to be served with nachos.. You can make individual servings in ramekins or bake it in a big baking dish at once, it is sure to please the crowd.

Ingredients:

1 pack nachos

1/4 cup corn

1/4 cup kidney beans boiled

1 small green capsicum chopped

handful of olives sliced

2 jalapenos chopped

Salt

Red chilli flakes

Oregano

1/4 cup of mozarella cheese grated

1/4 cup cheddar cheese grated

For Cheese Sauce -

1tbsp butter

1tbsp flour

1/2 cup milk

2 cubes grated processed cheese

Salt

Pepper

Method: Preheat oven at 180c.. For the white sauce - Heat butter in a pan and add flour and cook for a minute of 2 till the raw smell disappears.. Donot brown.. Gradually add in milk.. Whisk till it becomes thick.. Add in salt, pepper and grated cheese.. Mix well and keep aside. Once cooled slightly add in corn, kidney beans, capsicum and all the herbs and spices.. Mix well. Mix both the cheeses ie mozarella and cheddar and keep seperately.. Take a ramekin mould.. Layer half the mould with the filling and top with mixed cheese.. Again layer it with filling and top with cheese and bake at 180c for around 20mins till cheese browns slightly on top... Remove from oven.. Give a standing time of 5mins as it would be super hot.. Serve with nachos..

Note - You can add any veggies of your choice.
If not for cheese sauce, add in 3-4 tbsp of cream cheese.. Even that would give an amazing taste..

In case you want a lighter version of the same, donot bake and serve the filling as a salad with nachos and cheese sauce on the side.
