Steak and Potato Nachos
Description
This recipe uses frozen waffle fries tossed with olive oil, paprika, garlic salt, and black pepper then baked until crispy. Meanwhile, flank steak is seasoned simply with salt and pepper and cooked in a very hot skillet to develop a seared crust while maintaining juiciness inside. After resting, the steak is chopped into bite-sized pieces.
Layering the fries with steak and a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses creates a base that is finished in a hot oven or under a broiler to melt the cheese thoroughly and warm the toppings. Freshly sliced green onions provide a mild sharpness to balance the rich cheese and meat. Serving with sour cream and salsa adds coolness and a contrasting tangy note.
These nachos combine crisp texture from the fries with juicy steak and creamy melted cheese, making them suitable for a casual get-together or indulgent snack.
