Carne Asada Nachos

Serves 6-8 EF

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 ½ pounds skirt steak, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 12 ounces tortilla chips
  • 8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • ¾ cup pico de gallo, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 avocado, halved, peeled, seeded and diced
  • 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup queso blanco, homemade or store-bought

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano.
  3. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add steak and soy sauce mixture, and cook, stirring often, until steak has browned and soy sauce mixture has reduced, about 5-6 minutes, or until desired doneness.
  4. Place tortilla chips in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Top with steak, cheese and pico de gallo.
  5. Place into oven and bake until heated through and the cheese has melted, about 10-12 minutes.
