Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak or skirt steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bag (10 oz) tortilla chips
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup sour cream or crema
- 1 avocado, diced (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Rub the steak with olive oil and season with chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread tortilla chips in a single layer on a large, oven-safe platter or baking sheet.
- Layer the sliced steak, black beans, shredded cheese, diced red onion, and jalapeño slices over the chips. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and top with fresh cilantro, sour cream or crema, diced avocado (if using), and a squeeze of lime.
- Serve immediately with salsa and lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
