Taco Seasoning ((or you can use one packet/ serving of store-bought taco seasoning))
1 pound ground beef
1/2 yellow onion (diced)
2 bags tortilla chips ((16 ounces each))
1 can refried beans
16 ounces shredded cheese of choice ((I used cheddar and Monterey jack))

  • Return the beef to the pan, and sprinkle on the taco seasoning.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and flavorful cheeses for the best results.
  • Don't overload the nachos: Too many toppings can make them soggy and difficult to eat. Layer the ingredients evenly so that each bite has a good balance of flavors and textures.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The more toppings you use, the more interesting your nachos will be. Some classic toppings include cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and jalapeños.
  • Get creative with your toppings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Some unusual but delicious options include black beans, corn, pineapple, and mango.
  • Bake the nachos until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will help to hold the nachos together and make them easier to eat.

Conclusion:

Deluxe chicken or beef nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can create a nacho platter that everyone will love.
