For a fun Mexican style dinner that’s sure to tempt even the fussiest of eaters, try these Easy Chicken Nachos.

Feel free to amend the recipe to suit your family’s tastes. Switch the kidney beans for chickpeas, leave out the chicken and add leftover roast beef or lamb instead (or make it vegetarian), and even add some chilli if you like a bit of heat.
