Follow The Directions

01

Step
6 hrs

To cook the steak: Season both sides of steak with salt and peppers. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak, turning occasionally, to medium doneness, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 135 to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer steak to a bowl and let it rest.

02

Step
5 mins

Pour a splash of water into the skillet; stir to scrape up browned bits and deglaze the pan. Pour this liquid over meat. Allow meat to cool completely.

03

Step
10 mins

When meat is completely cool, slice thickly (about 1/2 inch) with the grain, then cut into thinner strips. Dice by cutting into pieces against the grain. Transfer chopped steak back to the bowl; toss with the pan drippings.

04

Step
10 hrs

To make the beans: Melt bacon fat over medium heat in a pot. Add onion and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in oregano. Add pinto beans and water. Bring back to a simmer and cook until onions are soft, about 5 more minutes. Reduce heat to low.

05

Step
5 mins

Mash beans with a potato masher to your desired consistency. Add additional liquid if necessary to achieve your preferred texture. Add the remaining salt to taste. Remove from heat.

06

Step
0 mins

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

07

Step
5 mins

To assemble the nachos: Place tortilla chips about 2 or 3 deep in a heat-proof pan. (You may need more than one pan.) Top chips with spoonfuls of beans and a generous handful of steak pieces. Sprinkle with grated cheese.

08

Step
10 hrs

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and edges start to brown, about 10 minutes.

09

Step
5 mins

Scatter tomato, avocado, onion, and jalapeño over the top. Drizzle nachos with sour cream and garnish with chopped cilantro.

For a smoky depth, consider grilling the steak instead of pan-searing. Ensure your skillet is screaming hot before adding the steak for a perfect sear. Don't overcrowd the baking pan; work in batches if necessary for even cheese melting.
Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bean mixture for an extra kick.
Cheese variations: Experiment with pepper jack or a Mexican cheese blend for a different flavor profile.
Make it ahead: The steak and beans can be prepared in advance and stored separately. Assemble the nachos just before baking for the best results.

    The chipotle pepper adds just the right amount of heat. I'll definitely be making these again.

  • Miguel Beier

    I was missing a jalapeno so I used roasted red peppers instead for a bit of sweetness.

  • Kaela Stoltenberg

    I didn't have pinto beans on hand, so I used black beans instead. They were a great substitute!
