Philly Avocado Crema Steak Nachos Recipes

Steps:

• Heat greased grill to medium heat.
• Combine dry seasonings; sprinkle evenly onto both sides of steak. Grill 5 to 7 min. on each side or until steak is cooked to medium doneness. Transfer steak to cutting board. Let stand 5 min. before cutting across the grain into thin slices. Meanwhile, heat oven to 400°F.
• Blend cream cheese spread, lime juice, avocado and cilantro in blender until smooth. Pour into resealable plastic bag.
• Spread tortilla chips onto rimmed baking sheet; top with meat and shredded cheese. Bake 5 min. or until cheese is melted.
• Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to drizzle cream cheese sauce over nachos. Top with pico de gallo.

Steps:

• Season both sides of steak with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak, turning occasionally, to medium doneness, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 135 to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer meat to a bowl to let it rest.
• Pour a splash of water into the skillet; stir to scrape up browned bits and deglaze the pan. Pour this liquid over meat. Allow meat to cool completely.
• When meat is completely cool slice thickly (about 1/2 inch) with the grain, then cut into thinner strips. Dice by cutting into pieces against the grain. Transfer chopped steak back to the bowl; toss with the pan drippings.
• Melt bacon fat over medium heat in a pot. Add onions and a pinch of the salt; cook and stir until softened, 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in oregano. Add pinto beans and water. Bring back to a simmer and cook until onions are soft and sweet, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
• Mash the beans with a potato masher to your desired consistency. Add additional liquid, if necessary, to achieve your preferred texture. Add the remaining salt to taste. Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place tortilla chips about 2 or 3 deep in a heat proof pan. (You may need more than one pan.) Top chips with spoonfuls of beans and a generous handful of steak pieces. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted and edges start to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Scatter diced ripe avocado, diced onions, diced tomatoes, and diced jalapenos over the top. Drizzle nachos with sour cream and garnish with chopped cilantro.
