Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) filet mignon, trimmed and cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large bag (about 12 oz / 340 g) tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or thawed if frozen)
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the filet mignon cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat until just smoking.
  3. Add the steak cubes in a single layer and sear for about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare (about 4 minutes total). Remove and set aside.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or set the broiler to medium-high heat.
  5. On a large baking sheet, spread a layer of tortilla chips evenly.
  6. Sprinkle half the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the chips.
  7. Scatter half the black beans, corn, and jalapeños (if using) over the cheese.
  8. Add half the seared filet mignon cubes on top.
  9. Repeat layering with the remaining chips, cheeses, beans, corn, jalapeños, and steak.
  10. Bake the nachos in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If using the broiler, watch closely to avoid burning.
  11. Remove from oven and immediately top with diced avocado, tomato, cilantro, and dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  12. Serve with lime wedges and enjoy promptly while cheese is gooey and chips are crisp.

Notes

To keep chips crispy, layer toppings carefully and consider using a wire rack over the baking sheet. Let the seared steak rest a few minutes before adding to nachos to lock in juices. Avoid microwaving to melt cheese as it causes sogginess. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free chips. For dairy-free, substitute cheeses and sour cream with plant-based alternatives.
