sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

guacamole

🥗Healthier: avocado mash

💰Cheaper: store-bought guacamole

Avocado mash is fresher and cheaper than pre-packaged options

1

Arrange tortilla chips on a baking dish.

2

Generously sprinkle any type of shredded cheese over the chips, avoiding strong flavored cheeses like parmesan.

3

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).

4

Place the nachos in the preheated oven to melt the cheese and crisp the nachos.

5

While the nachos are baking, chop leftover steak, onions, and peppers into bite-sized pieces.

6

If no leftovers are available, sauté chopped onions in a bit of oil until golden and fragrant.

7

Choose your meat (chicken, pork, or beef) and brown it with the onions, breaking it up to cook evenly.

8

Optionally, add spices like cumin or chili powder for extra flavor.

9

Once the nachos are crispy and the cheese is melted, remove them from the oven.

10

Spread refried beans over the nachos, followed by the chopped meat and veggies.

11

Sprinkle more cheese on top and return to the oven until the cheese is melted again.

12

Serve the nachos topped with fresh tomatoes, spring onions, marinated jalapeños, and garnish with cilantro.

13

Add sides of sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
