Chilli Nacho Tornados are designed to deliver maximum impact at the counter. This bold, raw beef product offers strong visual appeal, clear flavour cues, and excellent added value. As a result, it is ideal for butchers looking to elevate mince into a standout premium line.

The base starts with quality beef mince seasoned with Verstegen Hamburger Mix Complete. This ensures consistent seasoning, excellent binding, and a juicy bite after cooking. At the centre, a slice of Verstegen Sliceable Nacho Cheese Sauce creates a rich, indulgent cheese core. Importantly, the cheese holds its shape during preparation while melting beautifully when cooked. This hidden centre adds theatre and encourages customers to trade up.

Next, the distinctive tornado shape gives the product structure and strong shelf presence. A wrap of streaky bacon around the centre adds flavour, texture, and familiarity. At the same time, it helps protect the cheese core during cooking. The bacon is then brushed with Verstegen Mexican Madness World Grill, an oil-based grill that coats evenly and adds shine. As a result, the Tornados gain colour, aroma, and a warm Mexican-style spice profile without overpowering the beef.

For presentation, each Tornado sits on a base of Verstegen Chilli Con Carne Sauce. This reinforces the flavour direction and provides a clear serving suggestion. In addition, a fresh chilli placed on top signals heat and excitement to the customer. Finally, a light garnish of Verstegen Decoration Blend Espagnol adds colour contrast and a professional finish in the display.

Chilli Nacho Tornados suit oven cooking, pan frying, or the BBQ. Therefore, they are easy for staff to recommend and simple for customers to prepare. Whether sold individually or as part of a themed range, this product offers strong differentiation, reliable flavour, and excellent margin potential, all supported by trusted Verstegen products.
