Ingredients
- 1 5.5 ounce bag Food Should Taste Good Blue Corn Tortilla Chips
- 1 cup cooked and chopped carne asada*
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 4 ounces grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup guacamole

- 1/8 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/8 cup sour cream
- lime wedges for squeezing optional
Instructions
- On an oven-safe platter, spread out the chips and top with the grated cheese. Broil in the oven with the door open, watching constantly until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Top with carne asada, tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole. Garnish with onion and cilantro.

Notes
- *To prepare my carne asada, season both sides of the flank with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice. Broil on a rack for 4-6 minutes per side, then let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain, then chop.
- To store Carne Asada Nachos, place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. You can reheat them in the oven at 225°F (110°C) for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts.
- If you’re thinking about freezing them, I wouldn’t recommend it—the chips will get soggy and the toppings lose their freshness.
