Carne Asada Nachos

Guys. Prepare to have your MIND BLOWN to the best nachos of 2020.

CARNE ASADA NACHOS WITH A DRIZZLE OF QUESO. Yes and yes, inspired by these Mexican street tacos using the quickest and easiest carne asada marinade of your life.

The nachos are topped with extra-sharp cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, and of course, your perfectly cooked, tender carne asada.

Bake until bubbly and melted before topping off with extra pico de gallo for maximum freshness, avocado, jalapeno slices, cilantro and of course, that drizzle of warm queso.

Store-bought queso is absolutely fine here. I mean, we did do all the hard, strenuous work with the carne asada. But yes, you can absolutely go that extra mile and use homemade queso if you prefer. The sky is the limit!
