Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt, black pepper, and optional taco seasoning. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
- Remove steak from heat and let rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. This allows juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender result.
- While steak rests, spread tortilla chips in an even layer across the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle drained black beans and shredded cheese evenly over the chips.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin, bite-sized strips. Distribute steak pieces across the nachos.
- Add sliced jalapeños on top of the nachos for extra heat and flavor.
- Place sheet pan in preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and chips are slightly crispy.
- Remove from oven and immediately top with fresh pico de gallo, sliced avocado, and dollops of sour cream.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve immediately while hot and cheese is still melted.
Tips
- Always slice your steak against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness and easy eating.
- Let your steak rest after cooking to preserve those precious juices and keep the meat moist.
- Use parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup and preventing stuck-on cheese.
- For extra flavor, consider using a pre-mixed taco seasoning when preparing your steak.
- Watch your nachos carefully in the oven - you want melted cheese and crispy chips, not burnt edges.
- Serve immediately after removing from the oven to enjoy the optimal cheese stretch and chip crispiness.
- Customize your toppings! Feel free to add extra heat with hot sauce or swap ingredients based on your preferences.
