Instructions

Start by making the spiced meat. Melt the butter in a pan at a high heat, but avoid browning it. Fry the yellow onion and garlic in the butter for around 1 minute.
Add the meat and fry for a further 5 minutes, until the meat crumbles and changes colour.
Add the tomato puree, cumin, chilli, coriander and salt and sauté for around 2 minutes. Add salt to taste.
With the meat cooked it’s time to start stacking the salad. If the kidney beans are in liquid, drain and rinse them with water. If they are dry, make sure you have pre-soaked them then drained.
Divide the salad ingredients into four jars. Start with the crème fraiche at the bottom, followed by lettuce, avocado, corn, kidney beans, red onion, tomatoes, jalapeños then finish by topping with the spiced beef, salsa and cheese.
Serve with nachos and enjoy!
