Cooking Tips

• For a spicier kick, add some sliced jalapenos to the nachos before baking.
• You can use any cut of steak you prefer, such as ribeye or strip steak.
• Make sure to let the steak rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Storage and Serving

• These nachos are best served immediately while the cheese is still melted and gooey.
• If you have leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• To reheat, place the tortilla chips and steak in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. Top with the pickled onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
