How to Make Fajita Nachos

  1. Prepare the steak: If using flank steak, season generously with 1-2 tablespoons fajita seasoning. Grill over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Alternatively, sear in a large skillet with 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side.
  2. If using chicken breast, cut into strips and cook similarly, seasoning with fajita seasoning. If using ground beef, brown 1 pound in a skillet over medium-high heat, draining off any excess grease.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet or pizza pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  4. Arrange 10-12 large tortilla chips evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Top the chips with the cooked steak (or chicken/beef).
  6. Sprinkle 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite Mexican blend) over the steak. Add a pinch of fajita seasoning to the cheese for extra flavor.
  7. Add your desired toppings: sliced bell peppers (1/2 cup), onions (1/2 cup), jalapeños (optional).
  8. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Garnish generously with sour cream, guacamole, shredded lettuce (1 cup), diced tomatoes (1/2 cup), and any other desired toppings.
