Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank or skirt steak
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 8 cups sturdy tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes or pico de gallo
  • ½ cup sliced black olives
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced or sliced
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for drizzling
  • Fresh lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Toss the flank steak with the marinade, making sure it’s fully coated. Let it rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the tortilla chips evenly in a large oven-safe dish or on a baking sheet.
  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Place the steak in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak and let it rest for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Using a sharp knife, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
  5. Scatter the black beans evenly over the chips, then layer on the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Top with the steak slices, then bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove the nacho bowl from the oven and immediately top with diced tomatoes or pico de gallo, jalapeño slices, black olives, green onions, cilantro leaves, and avocado. Drizzle sour cream or Greek yogurt over the top and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Use thick-cut tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Rest steak before slicing to retain juices. Layer cheese under and over toppings for even melting. Serve immediately for best texture. Can customize toppings and protein as desired.
