Time 1h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (1 1/2-pound) skirt steak or flap steak
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
2 tablespoons bacon fat
1 yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 ½ cups water or chicken broth, plus more as needed
1 (14 ounce) bag corn tortilla chips
12 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
12 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced
½ cup chopped white onion, or to taste
2 ripe tomato, chopped, or more to taste
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
½ cup sour cream, for topping
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Season both sides of steak with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak, turning occasionally, to medium doneness, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 135 to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer meat to a bowl to let it rest.
  • Pour a splash of water into the skillet; stir to scrape up browned bits and deglaze the pan. Pour this liquid over meat. Allow meat to cool completely.
  • When meat is completely cool slice thickly (about 1/2 inch) with the grain, then cut into thinner strips. Dice by cutting into pieces against the grain. Transfer chopped steak back to the bowl; toss with the pan drippings.
  • Melt bacon fat over medium heat in a pot. Add onions and a pinch of the salt; cook and stir until softened, 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in oregano. Add pinto beans and water. Bring back to a simmer and cook until onions are soft and sweet, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  • Mash the beans with a potato masher to your desired consistency. Add additional liquid, if necessary, to achieve your preferred texture. Add the remaining salt to taste. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Place tortilla chips about 2 or 3 deep in a heat proof pan. (You may need more than one pan.) Top chips with spoonfuls of beans and a generous handful of steak pieces. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted and edges start to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Scatter diced ripe avocado, diced onions, diced tomatoes, and diced jalapenos over the top. Drizzle nachos with sour cream and garnish with chopped cilantro.

DELUXE CHICKEN (OR BEEF) NACHOS



Deluxe Chicken (or Beef) Nachos image

A great snack for game day, but we like it so much we have it as a regular meal - very often requested by my husband and his friends. This recipe calls for chicken breast, but often we will use 1lb of ground beef instead. Yummy and filling!

Provided by Laurie Roberts @Luv2TryNew

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 18

CHICKEN (OR BEEF) NACHOS
1 - bag restaurant style tortilla chips
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts roasted and seasoned with cumin, salt, and pepper
1 can(s) black beans, drained
1 cup(s) salsa (i like my brother-in-law's recipe and will post that)
1 1/2 cup(s) cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup(s) guacamole
1/2 cup(s) sour cream
1 can(s) black olives, sliced
1/3 cup(s) jalapeno peppers, diced (i use mezzeretta deli style in a jar - either tamed or hot but you could also use fresh)
1 medium fresh tomato, chopped
GUACAMOLE
1 large ripe avocado, mashed
1 tablespoon(s) ranch dressing, bottled
2 teaspoon(s) lemon juice
1/4 cup(s) salsa
- salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts with cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken broth or water and roast in 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours or until fork tender.
  • Layer entire surface of a large cookie sheet with tortilla chips. Sprinkle some of the cheese on top.
  • Shred or chop the chicken and layer it on top of the chips and cheese. Next add the black beans, then the salsa.
  • Top with the rest of the cheese and put in oven at 325 for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Sprinkle with the diced jalapenos and onions. Dollop the sour cream and guacamole over all.
  • Top with sliced black olive and chopped tomato. Serve with more salsa on the side and enjoy!!!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your nachos taste better. Choose ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful cheese.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Nachos are all about the cheese, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of cheese per person.
  • Layer your nachos: For the best flavor and texture, layer your nachos in the following order: chips, beans, meat, cheese, and toppings.
  • Don't overcook the chicken or beef: If you're using chicken or beef in your nachos, be sure to cook it until it's just cooked through. Overcooked meat will be tough and chewy.
  • Add your favorite toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to nacho toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and jalapeños.

Conclusion:

Nachos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy snack or a hearty meal, nachos are a great option.
