Steak Nachos

We made these up when we were in the mood for nachos but didn't have any ground beef defrosted. These steak nachos turned out so much better than their ground beef counterpart! We'll definitely make nachos this way from now on.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 ½ cups milk
• ½ cup salsa
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• cooking spray
• 4 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 package taco seasoning mix
• 1 pound flat iron steaks, cut into small pieces
• 1 (12 ounce) bag tortilla chips, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Spray a frying pan with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Cook and stir steak until barely any pink remains, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain fat from pan; add taco seasoning to the steak. Let simmer until desired consistency is reached, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

Warm milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles appear along the sides. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Melt butter in another medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour once bubbles disappear. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in the warm milk and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture is thick and smooth, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in shredded cheese.

Step 4

Add black beans, salsa, and the steak pieces. Stir and serve with tortilla chips.
