Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 ½ pounds skirt steak, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 12 ounces tortilla chips
  • 8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • ¾ cup pico de gallo, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 avocado, halved, peeled, seeded and diced
  • 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup queso blanco, homemade or store-bought
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano.
  • Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add steak and soy sauce mixture, and cook, stirring often, until steak has browned and soy sauce mixture has reduced, about 5-6 minutes, or until desired doneness.
  • Place tortilla chips in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Top with steak, cheese and pico de gallo.
  • Place into oven and bake until heated through and the cheese has melted, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, topped with avocado, jalapeno, queso blanco and cilantro.
