A loaded plate of nachos topped with seasoned steak, cheese, and a variety of fresh toppings. A delicious appetizer or snack that’s ideal for sharing.

Ingredients

• 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 bag (14 oz) tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese or cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/2 cup guacamole
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo

Substitutions

For a different protein, try shredded chicken or pork in place of steak. Use Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese for a different cheese flavor, or add chopped bell peppers for extra color and crunch.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the sliced steak with garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until it’s browned and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.
5. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the chips. Layer the cooked steak, black beans, red onion, and jalapeños evenly over the chips.
6. Top with the remaining cheese, and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
7. Remove from the oven, and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa on the side.
