FAJITA NACHOS

This is much like the fajita nachos you can order in most Mexican restaurants. You can also substitute chicken breast strips for the flank steak, or if you are on a tight budget, even ground beef will work well.

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb flank steak
1 bag tortilla chips
2 cups shredded cheese (choose whatever your favorite is, I like Kraft's Mexican blend or a good white american cheese)
nonfat sour cream (optional)
guacamole (optional)
1 envelope fajita seasoning mix

Steps:

  • If you have a grill, grill flank steak seasoned with fajita seasoning until done.
  • If not, you can also cook indoors in a well-greased skillet.
  • Arrange tortilla chips on a baking sheet with aluminum foil covering it.
  • A pizza pan works particularly well for this.
  • Top the chips with the cooked Flank Steak, topped with cheese and any other toppings you desire, such as peppers or onions.
  • I also like to add a bit of fajita seasoning to the cheese to give it a little zest.
  • Place in 350 Degree oven for 20-30 minutes, depending on how long it takes to melt the cheese.
  • Garnish with sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, or any other desired garnish.

FAJITA NACHOS GRANDE



Fajita Nachos Grande image

This meal always takes me back to San Antonio, Texas where I learned to cook up fajitas and fell in love with just how delicious they are. I enjoy working with flank because it cooks up quickly and my husband loves it too. This is a hearty meal full of flavors. It is meaty, crunchy, spicy, cheezy and sure to be pleasy. It can...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 23

PREPARE FLANK STEAK NIGHT BEFORE
2 1/2 lb beef flank steaks
1 - 2 Tbsp oil, olive or grapeseed
1 - 2 Tbsp fajita seasoning
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
FAJITA NACHOS
1 pkg tortilla chips
1 can(s) seasoned black beans (rinsed and drained) then puree or use refried beans
1 jar(s) jalapeno peppers, sliced
1 medium sweet red pepper, sliced
1 medium green pepper, sliced
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1 can(s) green chiles, diced
1 pkg mexican blend shredded cheese
1 medium block of chihuahua cheese, grated
1 small container of medium chunky salsa
1 small container of sour cream
2 - 3 medium green onions, sliced
1/4 c chopped cilantro
1/2 c black olives, sliced
2 small limes, quartered
1 small bottle of hot sauce for those who need more heat. lol

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare you flank the night before by either doing a marinade or a dry rub which I did. A little oil and fajita seasoning, cumin and coriander. Rub a little oil on the flank and then coat with the seasoning on both sides and put in a ziplock baggie or a sealed container and refrigerate overnight. ----This will cook up quickly on the grill 3 - 4 minutes or so.
  • 2. Slice up your peppers and onions.
  • 3. Saute in oil and then add ground ancho chili pepper and a little salt to your taste.
  • 4. Put this in a dish that can go into the oven. Layer the tortilla chips first, then beans, sliced and drained jalapenos and 1/2 the cheeses.
  • 5. Next add your sauteed peppers and onions, fajitas on top and then green chilies and the rest of the cheese.
  • 6. Next place your nachos in oven to melt cheese.
  • 7. Now the rest of your toppings, add your salsa, drizzle your sour cream or put several dollups on top. Add sliced green onions, black olives, cilantro and lime slices can be squeezed on top. Oh yeah, and put out a bottle of hot sauce for those who need more heat...like my husband does. LOL Now, your ready to eat. (I have to use whole olives cause my husband hates them. Easier to pick them off. LOL)

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your fajita nachos.
  • Make sure your fajita meat is well-seasoned: This is the key to flavorful nachos.
