Equipment

  • 1 Large Baking Tray
  • 1 Large Frying Pan or Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

Steak

  • 1 Pound Flatiron Steak Any thin, flat steak will work with this recipe.
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Paprika
  • ½ Teaspoon Cumin
  • ¼ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Peppers and Onions

  • 2 Bell Peppers, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt

Other Ingredients

  • 5.5 Ounces Siete Chips
  • ½ Cup Guacamole
  • ⅓ Cup Salsa
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro

Instructions
 

Steak

  • Start by adding the steak into a large bowl with olive oil and spices. Stir together until the steak is evenly coated. Place in the refrigerator to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
  • To cook the steak, place it on a preheated cast iron skillet or any large skillet. Cook on medium-high heat for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and let sit.

Vegetables

  • In the same pan add thinly sliced red onion and peppers with olive oil and salt. Cook covered on medium heat stirring occasionally until the peppers are soft.

Nachos

  • Then, add the cooked steak to a cutting board and carefully slice thin strips. (If it's too rare, add it back into the skillet for a minute or two!)
  • To assemble the nachos, start by adding a layer of tortilla chips onto a large tray or baking sheet.
  • Then add the thinly sliced steak and cooked vegetables on top of the chips.
  • Finish off with a few dollops of guacamole, salsa, and a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro! Enjoy hot.

Notes

Expert Tips

  • To avoid soggy leftovers, keep everything separate. Let guests make their own nacho plates by keeping the chips, fajita mixture, and toppings in bowls on the side.
  • Do not overcook the steak. It's very thin and will continue cooking while it rests. If it's too rare, bake the nacho tray for a few minutes or add the steak back into the skillet.
  • For toasted chips, place tortilla chips in the oven at 375 degrees for a few minutes or until the chips are golden brown.
  • Cut the steak into bite sized strips so it's easier to enjoy this recipe.

How To Store Leftovers

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
The chips will get soggy under the juicy steak and vegetables, but if you use an air fryer to reheat them it works great! You could also try broiling them on low in the oven for a few minutes.
