Ingredients

For the potato nachos:

  • 700g sliced potato
  • 2 tbsp. 100% Coconut Oil
  • 1 tbsp. garlic granules
  • 1 tbsp. smoked paprika
  • Pinch of chilli powder
  • Salt and pepper to season

For the toppings:

  • 600g Bavette steak (flank steak)
  • Fajita seasoning
  • 2 tsp. 100% Coconut Oil (for frying)
  • 1 red onion (diced)
  • 1 red pepper (diced)
  • 2 tomatoes (diced)
  • 100g kidney beans
  • 60g grated cheddar
  • 60g grated mozzarella
  • Handful jalapeños
  • 1 tbsp. coriander (chopped)

Method

1. Firstly, preheat your oven to 200°C.

2. Then, slice your potatoes into roughly 1-2cm thick slices and transfer to a baking tray (I used two trays).

3. Pour melted coconut oil over the slices and then season with garlic granules, smoked paprika, chilli powder and salt and pepper.

4. Repeat this for the second tray and bake your potato nachos for 25-30 mins.

5. Next, allow your steaks to come to room temperature, before rubbing in your fajita seasoning.

6. Heat a cast iron skillet to a high heat and add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the pan.

7. Once the oil has melted, place your steak on the pan and fry for 2-3 mins, then flip it.

8. Fry for another 2-3 mins before removing. Repeat this for the second steak and then allow your cooked steaks to rest for a few minutes before slicing up.

9. Now, build your nacho bake! Potato nachos first, then steak, onions and pepper, followed by tomatoes, kidney beans and then repeat for the second layer.

10. Top it all with cheddar, mozzarella, jalapeños, and coriander.

11. Put your nacho trays in the oven and bake for 15-20 mins.

12. Invite your friends round to share this amazing recipe with!
