Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients, let’s get cooking! Here’s how to make these easy steak loaded nachos step by step:

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

1. Season the Steak: Rub the flank steak with Tony Chachere’s Lite Creole Seasoning. Make sure to coat it thoroughly for maximum flavor.
2. Cook the Steak: Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F.
3. Rest and Slice: Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it thinly against the grain.

Step 2: Assemble the Nachos

1. Layer the Chips: On a large baking sheet, spread a generous layer of tortilla chips.
2. Add Cheese: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the chips.
3. Top with Steak: Distribute the sliced steak evenly over the cheese layer.
4. Finish with Toppings: Add the remaining cheese, along with diced tomatoes, jalapeños, and black olives.

Step 3: Bake

1. Melt the Cheese: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Transfer the assembled nachos to the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 4: Serve

1. Garnish: Top with chopped green onions, drizzle with sour cream, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
2. Enjoy: Serve hot with your favorite dips like guacamole or salsa.

Tips & Variations

• Make It Vegetarian: Substitute the steak with black beans or grilled vegetables for a delicious veggie version.
• Spice It Up: If you love heat, add diced green chilies or additional jalapeños.
• Cheese Choices: Mix different cheeses like Monterey Jack and pepper jack for extra flavor.
• Meal Prep: Prep the ingredients ahead of time; store them separately and assemble just before baking for convenience!
