Carne Asada Nachos Recipe

When I want the best nachos EVER, I reach for the carne asada nachos. With this carne asada, you get all the flavor without hours of work, along with plenty of cheese, veggies, avocado, hot sauce, and MORE.

Nachos are kinda a thing for me. More like an obsession.

I remember when I first struck out on my own, after quitting a corporate marketing gig.

This was a time when nachos were a staple in my diet.

I didn’t have a ton of money to burn as I was saving and trying to make this whole food blogger/recipe developer/food photographer thing work.

So I made nachos. All. The. Time. They weren’t fancy nachos. Actually they were a little sad and boring.

But as I made those nachos on the daily, I thought of all the ways I could up the deliciousness factor of them and started making a list.

I’ve made the classic loaded nachos and I’ve even made bite-sized nachos with hatch green chile and fries.

These carne asada nachos have been on that list for a long time. I LOVE carne asada, but I’ve always wanted to find a way to make it at home that doesn’t give me a headache.

I want nachos NOW so I don’t want to wait for a marinade.

This is my shortcut workaround for carne asada that makes a really flavorful meat, ideal for topping chips along with all the other fixings that I personally love to see on nachos.

I love to combine a couple different types of cheeses, along with a drizzle of queso on my nachos because it’s OH SO YUM.

The heavy dairy gets broken up by the savory meat, tons of vegetables, and freshly chopped cilantro leaves.

Every bite is loaded with flavor and the way that I make them really puts the whole pan of goodness over-the-top.

I LAYER FOR A REASON PEOPLE.
