Preparation steps

For the salsa: mix together all the ingredients until well combined. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.

For the guacamole: pound the chiles, cilantro salt, and onion to a fine paste in a pestle and mortar or blender. Add the lime juice to make a loose smooth mixture.

Put the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash until smooth. Add the pounded mixture and stir well. Cover and chill for 10 minutes.

For the nachos: preheat the oven to 375F.

Put the tortilla chips into a large ovenproof dish. Scatter over half the salsa and all the grated cheese. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

Put the remaining salsa in a serving bowl. Put the guacamole in a serving bowl. Serve with the nachos and garnish with cilantro.
