Chef John's Deluxe Nachos


Great approval-ratings from the kids for Chef John's nachos. Also infinitely doable BY kids, more importantly. Get them cooking. The original recipe is here





  • Nacho chips
  • Skirt steak (tinned, drained and seasoned tuna for the pesci option)
  • cheese (cheddar etc)
  • beans (pinot/black) and onions, stock
  • Avocado (cubed and lemoned)
  • tomato
  • cucumber
  • corriander
  • fetta
  • lime
  • greek yoghurt


Cook (shallow fry) through a large portion of skirt or flat (we did rump) steak and allow to cool COMPLETELY. Remember to deglaze and pour the juices on top of the meat that's resting.

Chop and fry the onions until translucent. Add drained beans. Cook. Mash with potato masher. season vigorously.

Chop cooled meat into small cubes.

Tip chips into serving bowls. Spoon over the bean mix. Scatter over the meat/tuna. Scatter over the cheese. Toast or bake until crispy.
Garnish with avocado, cucumbers, corriander, fetta, greek yoghurt and lime, all as desired.
