Vegan Steak Fajita Nachos

By Bethany's Vegan Kitchen on 27/07/2024

Crispy tortilla chips, topped with melted dairy-free cheese, fajita spiced fried onion, red pepper and meat-free steak pieces. This crowd pleaser is flavour-packed and would be ideal to share, or keep it to yourself and tell no one. I used Juicy Marbles Plant Based Steak which worked perfectly for this. I realise however, that it's not a terribly budget-friendly product. So if you'd like to use something a little less expensive, I'd recommend using Beef Style Seitan which would also work brilliantly for this

Serves: Four Cook time: 25 minutes

You'll need:

One tablespoon dairy-free butter
One medium brown onion, sliced
One pepper, sliced
225g plant-based steak, sliced
One tablespoon of tomato puree
Seasoning mix; half a teaspoon of each of the following; ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, and one quarter of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper
100ml water
200g salted tortilla chips
100g dairy-free cheese
Two spring onions, finely sliced

Method:

Melt the dairy-free butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat, once melted add in the onion and pepper. Give them five minutes to cook and then add in the steak
Stir the steak through the onion and pepper, and give it ten minutes to cook, stirring every now and then
Next, sprinkle over the spice mix, then season to taste with salt and black pepper. Add the tomato puree and then deglaze the frying pan with the water. Give everything a good mix and then you're ready to assemble
Line a baking tray with the tortilla chips, then top them with the grated cheese, and finally the fajita steak mixture. Bake at 200°C/180°C fan-assisted for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the tortilla chips are starting to become golden brown. Serve immediately
