Description

This chili tortilla gratin is a real hit for any party! I like to make it when friends come to visit because it's super easy to prepare and always goes down well. The hearty chili with the crispy tortilla chips and creamy cheese is simply an unbeatable combination. The fresh chives yogurt provides a great contrast and makes the dish something special.

About this recipe

This chili tortilla gratin is a dish that brings back many fond memories for me. I first ate it at a student party, where it was the absolute hit. The combination of hearty chili, crispy tortilla chips and creamy cheese immediately thrilled me. Since then, I have refined the recipe again and again and adapted it to my taste. The ingredients all play an important role in the taste experience. The onion, peppers and chili form the aromatic base of the chili. The onion provides a slight sweetness, the peppers provide a fruity note and the chili provides the desired spiciness. The ground meat provides the hearty component and the tomatoes provide the fruity acidity and the binding. The tortilla chips give the gratin the necessary crunch and the cheese provides the creaminess and the spicy taste. The chives yogurt forms a fresh and light contrast to the hearty gratin. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important not to chop the onion, peppers and chili too finely, as they can burn when sautéing. The temperature when sautéing should not be too high so that the vegetables do not turn brown. The ground meat should be browned in a separate pan, as it does not brown so well in the Thermomix®. When simmering the chili, the temperature should not be too high so that it does not burn. The chili tortilla gratin can be varied wonderfully. For a vegetarian version, the ground meat can be replaced with soy granules or lentils. If you like it vegan, you can use a vegan cheese alternative instead of the cheese and replace the yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative. You can vary the spices as you like. Cumin, paprika powder, oregano and garlic go perfectly with the chili. The chili tortilla gratin can be served as a main course or as a side dish. A fresh salad or a crispy baguette goes well with it. Guacamole, sour cream or salsa are also great additions. The finished gratin can be stored in the refrigerator. It can also be prepared well in advance and baked just before serving. The chili can also be prepared separately and frozen. This way you always have a quick and tasty meal at hand.
