Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- vegetable oil
- 1 lb. (15.5-oz.) low-sodium black beans, drained
- 1 (14.5-oz.) can corn, drained
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (16-oz.) bag tortilla chips
- 8 oz. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 oz. shredded Cheddar
Instructions
- Make the Red Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the stock, water, and chile powder until very smooth.
- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oil an d let it get very hot. Add the stock mixture and bring it to a boil, whisking to remove any remaining lumps. Add the garlic and the salt.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Remove the garlic clove and taste for salt. Use right away or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Make the Green Sauce: In a food processor, combine the roasted chile, avocado flesh, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the oil and give it a buzz till the texture of the sauce is smooth and creamy. Drizzle in more oil as necessary and taste for salt and pepper. This will keep for about 2 days in the fridge.
- Cook the Steak: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
- Heat a grill pan or skillet to medium-high. Cover the bottom with a thin film of oil and add your steak. To cook the steak medium-rare, sear it for about 5 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, then let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes.
- In a medium saucepot, mix together the beans and corn with a pinch of salt and tablespoon or two or water, and heat them over medium-low until warmed through. Taste for salt and black pepper and set aside to rest.
- Assemble the Nachos: When the steak has rested, thinly slice it against the grain (meaning perpendicular to the grain; this makes it more tender) into 1"- to 2"-wide strips, then cut the strips into 1" to 2" pieces.
- Add the tortilla chips to a medium baking dish. Sprinkle on half the cheeses, then the steak pieces, followed by the bean/corn mixture. Ladle on red sauce to taste, then top with the remaining cheeses.
- Bake until the cheese begins to bubble, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven to a trivet and spoon the 1/4 cup green sauce into the middle so people can dip in. Serve with more green sauce, if you have it.
