- Oven - Cook the steak in the oven instead. Cook the steaks for 8-10 minutes depending on your preference at 450°F
- Stovetop - Cook the steak inside a cast iron skillet. 140°F for medium rare doneness.
- Spicy - Add Chili flakes to the marinate, add more jalapeno slices or drizzle siracha sauce onto the nachos.
- Toppings - Anything goes as far as toppings despite the “fajita” title. Nachos can handle a variety of toppings. You can add corn, jalapenos, poblano peppers, red onions, and Portobello mushrooms.
