Start by marinating your flank or skirt steak in your favorite seasoning blend for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the carne asada for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large baking sheet, evenly spread a layer of tortilla chips, making sure they are slightly overlapping for stability. Next, sprinkle the sliced carne asada generously over the chips, allowing the crispy texture to shine through. Finish by adding a layer of shredded cheese that will melt beautifully during baking.

Place the loaded baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on the nachos as the cheese begins to bubble and turns a golden color. You'll know they are done when the cheese is completely melted, enveloping the carne asada and chips in a gooey embrace.

Carefully remove the nachos from the oven and immediately top them with your favorite garnishes. Consider adding sliced jalapeños for heat, chopped cilantro for freshness, and dollops of sour cream and guacamole for creaminess. Don’t forget to drizzle some salsa on top for added zest and moisture!

Once fully assembled, serve the Carne Asada Nachos warm, straight from the oven. Make sure to present them with an array of extra toppings on the side, allowing everyone to customize their plate. Enjoy the satisfying crunch and melt-in-your-mouth flavor.
