Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and slice the vegetables. Dice the tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms.

  2. 2

    Cook the Protein

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Add the diced steak or chicken and sprinkle with fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Layer the Nachos

    On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips evenly. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the chips.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Layer the cooked protein over the chips, followed by the grilled vegetables. Add the remaining cheese on top.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Nachos

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the nachos in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the nachos from the oven and garnish with diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
