How to: A Girls Night In Ft. Healthy(ish) Nachos and Indulgent Brownies

Recently, myself and my two flatmates took a night off from the constant demands of Uni and nachos, brownies and rosé were on the menu. We're not your typical students, there isn't a pot noodle in sight in our kitchen and with homemade salsa and guac, we tried to health-up our classically unhealthy snacks! 

Classily-clad in onesies, we prepared a feast for Queens...


Nachos With Homemade Guac and Salsa
For the Salsa:
Tomatoes Diced
Onion Diced
Coriander Chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch of Salt and Pepper
Worcestershire Sauce
Magi Sauce (if you can get it)
For the Guacamole:
2 Avacados
1 Clove of Garlic finely chopped 
Juice of 1 lime
Pinch of salt and pepper
Chili flakes
And the obvious...
Tortilla chips
Lots of grated cheese

How to:
Mix your guacamole and salsa ingredients in two separate bowls. Layer a bag of Tortilla chips on a baking tray (don't be afraid of brands like Sainsbury's Basics, they're student-budget friendly and taste just as good with a blanket of cheese), grate a generous layer of cheese over the top and then pop under the grill until the cheese has melted. Leave the nachos to cool for a few minutes before topping with your pre-prepared guac and salsa.
When it came to the brownies all we wanted was something gooey and indulgent and so we relied on this tried and tested recipe. They turned out to be just the right combination of sickly, moist and moreish, However, do not underestimate how long it takes to sift in the flour, this may just be our amateurish abilities but it was definitely a two man job!


I can't take credit for the salsa and guacamole recipes as my friend was nacho-chef, while I was on the brownie team - not that i'm complaining. 

Now all that was left was to grab the wine, start up Netflix and watch our food babies grow. (Embrace it!)
