Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb sirloin or flank steak cut into small cubes
  • 1 tbsp fajita or taco seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 bag tortilla chips about 10 oz
  • 2 cup shredded cheese cheddar and monterey jack
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 jalapeno sliced
  • 1 avocado or guacamole
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped

Method
 

  1. Toss the steak with the seasoning, then sear in the olive oil over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until browned and cooked to 145 degrees F. Rest, then keep warm.
  2. Spread the tortilla chips on a sheet pan, top with the cheese and black beans, and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts.
  3. Scatter the seared steak over the top, then add the pico de gallo and jalapeno.
  4. Finish with avocado or guacamole, sour cream, and cilantro, with a squeeze of lime.
  5. Serve immediately while hot and melty.

Notes

The best steak for nachos is a tender cut like sirloin, flank, or ribeye, cut small so it is easy to scoop. Broil the chips and cheese in layers for even melting, and serve right away so the chips stay crisp.
