Name: Beef Fajita Nachos
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 8 Servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 lbs. Skirt Steak; 12 oz. tortilla chips; 3 Tbsp. fajita seasoning/rub; 7 oz. pickled jalapeños; 8 oz. shredded Mexican style cheese such as Asadero; 1 avocado, sliced; 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice; Salt to taste; ½ cup sour cream or crema; ⅓ cup scallions, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F
Step 2

Place a cast iron skillet over high heat.
Step 3

Season the Skirt Steak well on both sides with the rub, then place into the hot pan. Cook, flipping the steak every 3-4 minutes, for a total of 17 minutes. (Note: the USDA recommends a minimum of 145°F internal temperature). Remove steak to a cutting board and rest under foil for 5 minutes.
Step 4

Mash avocado, lime juice and salt using a fork. Set aside.
Step 5

Layer a tray with half the chips, and cover with half of the cheese and half the pickled jalapeño. Place into the oven to melt the cheese and warm the chips, about 5 minutes. If you prefer, you can use the broiler setting, just keep a close eye to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Step 6

On top of the melted layer, add the remaining chips, cheese and jalapeño.
Step 7

Cut the Skirt Steak into small bite-size pieces, and scatter on top of the chips, then return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the remaining cheese. Again, you can broil if you prefer.
Step 8

Spoon the avocado mixture and sour cream onto the top of the nachos, then scatter the scallions and serve immediately.
