    8 Servings

Ingredients

For the Carne Asada:
  • 1 tablespoon White Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
  • zest of one Lime
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Cilantro, chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Canola Oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds Skirt Steak, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
For the Nachos:
  • 12 ounces Tortilla Chips
  • 8 ounces Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
  • 1 Jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup Pico de Gallo, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 Avocado, halved, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream, or Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro Leaves, chopped
  • 2 Limes, quartered

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together white vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, garlic, chili powder, and cumin.
  3. Add oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is simmering, add steak and sauce mixture. Cook until the steak is browned and the sauce is reduced. This will take about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
  4. Spread half of the tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet. Top with half the cheese, half the jalapeno slices, and half the steak. Repeat these layers with remaining chips, cheese, jalapeno, and steak.
  5. Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and melted.
  6. Top with pico de gallo, avocado, sour cream, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
