Joe's Famous Steak Nachos

During one of my brother's visits, he made the most awesome nachos for us (if nachos is what you want to call them). Here's what you need (but of course you can add or subract any of these ingredients to your liking):

  • Tortilla chips
  • Black Beans
  • Carne Asada (either premarinated or you can buy some and lemon pepper it), cut into bite sized pieces after it's cooked
  • Cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese, and we don't melt it, we just layer it on)
  • Sliced olives
  • Avocado (Joe doesn't do avocados, but we love 'em)
  • Homemade Salsa: we just chop onion, cilantro, tomatoes, jalapeno and season with garlic, salt and pepper. Very easy.
  • Lime (to squeeze on top of your nachos

Just layer it all together, no need to measure. Just add whatever amounts are to your liking. And just a note about the salsa...the first few times I made this without Joe, it wasn't turning out quite right. I was separating the onion, cilantro and tomatoes. This last week I did it altogether as a salsa with the seasonings and jalapeno, like Joe does, and it was bomb! Seriously, we never get sick of this meal. And it's great when it's hot outside and you don't feel like turning on the oven.

  1. Couple corrections..
    On the salsa you dont season with garlic you chopped it up tiny and add with everything else. Also I squeeze some lime into it.

    Now for the other one. You forgot the roasted Jalepenos. My favorite part. Slice up Jalepenos and cook on stove until they are black on both sides. I like to use the stove on my bbq because otherwise it makes people inside the house choke. I put about 10 of these slices on top of my nachos for some extra kick.

  2. I did use fresh garlic last time. But if I don't have fresh then I use the jar minced garlic.
