Ingredients
- 1 5.5 ounce bag Food Should Taste Good Blue Corn Tortilla Chips
- 1 cup cooked and chopped carne asada*
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 4 ounces grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/8 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/8 cup sour cream
- Lime wedges for squeezing optional
Instructions
- On an oven-safe platter, spread out the chips and top with the grated cheese. Broil in the oven with the door open, watching constantly until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Top with carne asada, tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole. Garnish with onion and cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges for squeezing, if desired.
Notes
*To prepare my carne asada, season both sides of the flank with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice. Broil on a rack for 4-6 minutes per side, then let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain, then chop.
To store Carne Asada Nachos, place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. You can reheat them in the oven at 225°F (110°C) for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts.
If you’re thinking about freezing them, I wouldn’t recommend it—the chips will get soggy and the toppings lose their freshness.
