Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large bag (about 10 oz) sturdy tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños, sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Fresh lime wedges for squeezing

Instructions

  1. Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. Mix smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub seasoning evenly over the steak and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread tortilla chips evenly on a baking sheet or oven-safe platter. Scatter black beans over chips, then layer with shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  4. Distribute sliced steak and pickled jalapeños evenly over the cheese layer.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, broil for 2-3 minutes watching carefully to avoid burning.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately dollop sour cream or Greek yogurt over the nachos. Sprinkle diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions on top. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

To keep chips crispy, layer ingredients instead of piling all at once. Rest steak after cooking to lock in juices. Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting. Let sour cream sit out a few minutes for creamier texture. Slice steak thinly against the grain for tenderness.
