Big games build up big appetites, even if you’re just watching from your couch, so you’re going to need a full spread of your favourites ready for this year’s March Madness tournament. These grilled nachos are a fan favourite, and they are sure to make their way into your regular snack lineup once you give them a try.
Ingredients
- 1 bag of your favourite tortilla chips
- ½ can of sliced black olives
- ½ can of black beans
- 1 cup of jalapeño peppers
- 1 cup of diced tomato
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 4 cups cheddar jack cheese (or more if you like them extra cheesy)
- Sour cream (as much as you need for dipping)
- Guacamole (as much as you need for dipping)
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
Steak Preparation
- Combine the salt, pepper, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and chilli flakes in a bowl and mix well.
- Place your uncooked steak in a container and rub the mixture into the meat.
- Let the steak sit in the marinade until it reaches the room temperature necessary for grilling. No more than 15-20 minutes.
Steak Grilling Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place your steak on the grill for roughly 5 minutes per side or until it has reached your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice the steak into thin strips or chunks.
Nacho Preparation
- Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of a large cast-iron skillet. You can use two layers of parchment if you want to avoid a messy clean-up.
- Place a layer of tortilla chips in the cast iron pan and cover them with cheese, beans, olives, steak, and tomatoes.
- Continue layering the nachos until you’ve run out of ingredients.
- Put the cast iron on the grill at medium-high heat (roughly 450°F) for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tips of the chips have started to brown slightly.
- Remove the nachos using quality oven mitts or grilling gloves and shut off the grill.
- Top with fresh green onions, jalapeños, and serve with guacamole and sour cream.
