Cooking the Protein

  1. 1

    Prepare and Cook the Fajita

    In a bowl, season the fajita steak or chicken with salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, and olive oil. Mix well and let marinate for at least 20 minutes. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the meat for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

Sautéing Vegetables

  1. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes until they are soft. If you like it spicy, add jalapeños to taste.

    Layer the Nachos

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips evenly. Top with sautéed vegetables, sliced fajita steak or chicken, and shredded cheese.

    Bake the Nachos

    Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
