Description

Imagine a plate piled high with a symphony of textures and flavors, a dish that satisfies cravings while staying true to wholesome ingredients. This recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic favorite, transforming it into a guilt-free pleasure. Instead of traditional tortilla chips, crispy, seasoned pork rinds form the foundation.

Their airy crunch provides a surprisingly robust base, standing up well to generous toppings without becoming soggy. The pork rinds offer a savory foundation that complements the other ingredients beautifully. Melting over this delightful base is a blanket of sharp cheddar cheese, its tangy notes harmonizing perfectly with the other elements.

The cheese bubbles and browns under the heat, creating a gooey, irresistible layer that binds everything together. Atop this cheesy goodness, tender pieces of charred steak are scattered. The steak, cooked to your preferred level of doneness, brings a smoky depth and satisfying heartiness to the dish.

Each morsel is a juicy burst of flavor, complementing the crispy base and sharp cheese. Fresh tomatoes, diced and vibrant, add a juicy sweetness that cuts through the richness of the other ingredients. Their bright flavor and slight acidity provide a welcome contrast.

Slices of spicy jalapeños are interspersed throughout, adding a fiery kick that awakens the palate. The level of heat can be adjusted to your liking, from a mild warmth to an intense zing. For a final flourish, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, its delicate aroma and herbaceous notes enhancing the overall freshness of the dish.

A dollop of creamy guacamole or a few slices of ripe avocado add richness and healthy fats, while a spoonful of sour cream provides a cooling tang. Customize this dish to your heart's content, adding your favorite toppings and adjusting the ingredients to suit your individual taste. Whether you're looking for a satisfying snack, a crowd-pleasing appetizer, or a fun and flavorful meal, this recipe is sure to delight.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. In a food processor, blend together the pork rinds and cheese until you have a finely crumbled mixture.
    2.
    Line a 8X13 sheet tray with parchment paper and press the pork rind blend into the tray. Spread the mixture out thin so it bakes crisp like a tortilla chip.
    3.
    Bake the tray for 6-7 minutes, keeping an eye on the oven so the edges don burn. Once the edges turn golden brown and the center a dark orange, remove the tray from the oven and cut triangular or square nacho chips. Leave them laying flat in the tray.
    4.
    Reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, season the steak with the salt, pepper, onion powder, and cumin. Heat the olive oil in a pan over high heat and cook the steaks on both sides for about 5 minutes. Cooking until the steak has charred edges will be best for nachos.
    5.
    Once the steak had cooled after cooking, thinly slice/chop the steak for the nachos. Quarter the grape tomatoes and dice the jalapenos.
    6.
    Arrange the steak, tomatos, and jalapenos evenly over your nachos. Sprinkle the shredded pepperjack over the nachos as well. Bake in the oven until the cheese has melted - approximately 5-7 minutes.
