Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound Flank Steak or skirt steak or sirloin
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or other mild meltable cheese
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 cups sliced peppers
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
Cold Toppings:
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro more or less to taste
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1 small red onion chopped or a jar of pickles red onion
- 1 avocado peeled, seeded and cubed
- Optional: pickled jalapeños spicy salsa, sour cream
Instructions
- Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a large skillet. Add steak to the hot pan and sprinkle with cumin, salt and pepper. Fry on each side until steak is about medium rare* (or just below desired doneness), knowing that it will cook about another level in the oven. Slice steak into bite-sized strips.
- Place a layer of chips in baking pan. Top with half of the grated cheese, then add another layer of chips. Top with steak strips and remaining cheese, then place in preheated 400 F oven.
- In the pan the steak cooked in, heat remaining 1 Tablespoon of oil. Add peppers and cook on medium high until limp. Add garlic and lime juice and cook for another mintue. Remove from heat.
- When cheese is melted and chips are crisp, remove nacho pan from the oven. Top with sautéed peppers and remaining cold toppings (tomatoes, avocados, onion, cilantro, sour cream if using).
- Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of spicy salsa or jalapenos for heat lovers.
Notes
- FDA would want me to warn you that underdone meat is more dangerous than well done.
