Notes

  •  
  • Take a moment to check out this list of what to serve with these amazing nachos and you'll have a complete meal that will blow all who try it out of the water every time you make it!
  • Chicken - Use grilled chicken instead of steak. Chicken breasts only need to be cooked for 2 or 3 minutes on each side.
  • 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.
