Carne Asada Nachos

Carne Asada Nachos bring together marinated skirt steak with tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, avocado, jalapeño, and queso blanco. The steak is quickly cooked with a blend of Mexican-inspired spices, layered on chips with cheese, then baked to melt. Toppings add freshness and creaminess, creating a bold, textured appetizer or snack.

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano.
  3. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add steak and soy sauce mixture, and cook, stirring often, until steak has browned and soy sauce mixture has reduced, about 5-6 minutes, or until desired doneness.
  4. Place tortilla chips in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Top with steak, cheese and pico de gallo.
