Spicy-Steak-Nachos-(Single-Chip)

The problem with nachos is that you only get the good stuff on a couple of chips.  And then you always have the knucklehead who grabs that one chip that takes with it a huge clump of cheese ultimately transforming the rest of the plate into a bowl of plain chips.  Not to mention the majority of the chips end up soggy and devoid of crunch.

That is why when I make nachos, I put all the good stuff on every single chip!  Here is the process in which to get the very best nachos!

Preparing-the-Steak-Nachos

I like to start by using fresh mini-tortillas and cutting them into individual size chips.  When cooking the nachos these chips will have a crunchy exterior and a chewy center providing for a wonderful texture.  You’ll notice that I don’t use tomatoes when making nachos — I recommend dicing up some fresh pico di gallo to scoop on the nachos after they are done cooking.

Once you are done assembling the nachos they are ready for the oven!  375 degrees for 10 minutes.

Keep some extra chopped cilantro to sprinkle on after cooking to give the dish a nice presentation.
