For The Chicken Mince With Taco Seasonings

In a large sauté pan, cook the chicken mince, breaking it up, for about 4 -5 minutes. Add onions, homemade taco seasoning sauté until the onion is translucent. Set aside.
Place a layer of Doritos on the serving dish. Top with homemade refried beans. Then the shredded cheese (I used Gouda cheese).

Bake at 180°C for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted
Don’t bake the Doritos nachos too long or they’ll start to get a little crispy on top.

Garnish them with sliced onions & chopped scallion greens.
These tasted so very, very good! My friends enjoyed these. You will definitely want to make these nachos with Doritos the next time you have a party or a get together. They make a wonderful snack, party dish, appetizer or even a casual dinner.

Eggless Mango Semolina Cake#SundayFunday

In: Cake, Eggless, Fine Semolina

Easy and tasty egg free mango cake recipe made with no flour, simple pantry ingredients and fresh mangoes. This eggless mango cake is light, moist, and delicious! You don’t even need any electrical equipment such as a stand mixer or electric beater for this recipe.

Ingredients
1 Cup Fine Semolina/Rawa
1 Cup Mango Pulp
¼ Cup Vegetable Oil
¾ Cup Caster Sugar
1 Teaspoon Baking powder
½ Teaspoon Cardamom powder
For Garnish
¼ Cup Chopped Nuts - I used sliced pistachios, almonds & cashew nuts.

Method
Pre-heat the oven to 170°C.

Mix the semolina, sugar, cardamom and baking powder well.
In a large bowl add oil and mango pulp whisk well with a hand whisk until combined. Then add in the semolina mixture, mix well. Cover and let is sit for 15 minutes.
Pour in a greased round 6"pan. Level the cake and garnish with sliced nuts.

Place in the oven and bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Check after 30 minutes with a toothpick to see if properly baked. If it comes out clean then remove immediately. In my oven it took exactly 35 minutes.

Allow to cool completely.

Slice and serve it's light, moist, and delicious!

My Notes
The mango pulp should not be thick and not too watery.
If you use a pulp that is not thick then let the cake batter stand aside for 20 minutes or until the mango pulp is absorbed by the semolina.
If you place a thin batter directly in the oven it takes a longer time to bake and then browns the cake. You will not get that beautiful, rich yellow color.
