Why You'll Love This Recipe

These nachos are the perfect balance of crispy, savory, and juicy. The tender steak adds a rich flavor that pairs wonderfully with the crunchy chips and melted cheese. It’s a fun and satisfying dish that’s great for sharing.

Smart Cooking Tips

- Use high-quality steak for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Cook the steak to medium-rare or medium for juicy results.
- Spread the chips evenly and avoid overcrowding to keep them crispy.

Step 1

Spray a frying pan with cooking spray and heating it over medium. Add the steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s mostly browned with just a little pink left, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then sprinkle in the taco seasoning and let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens up to your liking.

Step 2

Meanwhile, warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until you see little bubbles forming around the edges, then take it off the heat. In another saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once it’s melted and bubbly, whisk in the flour and keep stirring for about 5 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color and feels paste-like.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the warm milk while whisking constantly, then bring the sauce back to a gentle simmer. Keep stirring until it thickens into a smooth, creamy cheese sauce, which usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and mix in the shredded cheese until melted.

Step 4

Finally, stir in the black beans, salsa, and the cooked steak. Give everything a good mix and serve it up with your favorite tortilla chips for dipping.

How To Enjoy This Dish

Serve with fresh guacamole, sour cream, and a side of salsa for extra zest. Adding jalapeños or pickled onions can give a nice spicy kick. A cold beer or a refreshing margarita pairs perfectly with these flavors.

Refrigeration Tips

If you have leftovers, store the steak separately from the chips to keep them from getting soggy. Reheat the steak gently in a pan, and warm the chips in the oven to regain their crispness. Consume within 1-2 days for best taste.
