Loaded Nacho Crispy Potato Steak Bowls

Directions

  1. 1Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 2Cut the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. 3Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft inside.
  4. 4Throw on 40 grams of obese-free cheese to the potatoes.
  5. 5Preheat a grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat.
  6. 6Season the steak with taco seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  7. 7Grill the steak on both sides for about 4-5 minutes per side (for medium-rare; adjust time for desired doneness).
  8. 8Cook the steak to 135 internal temperature.
  9. 9Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
  10. 10Cook the vegetables in the same pan: toss the cubed bell pepper, onion, and sliced jalapeños. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat.
  11. 11In a blender or food processor, combine the fat-free cottage cheese, garlic cloves, diced jalapeño, Kraft cheese powder, reduced-fat cheddar, and Fairlife milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  12. 12Heat the cheese sauce in a small pot on low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt or more milk if needed for consistency.
  13. 13Start with a base of crispy air-fried potatoes in each bowl.
  14. 14Top with grilled steak slices, followed by the sautéed bell peppers, onions, and jalapeños.
  15. 15Drizzle with nacho cheese sauce over the top.
  16. 16Optional: Garnish with additional seasonings like taco seasoning, fresh herbs, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
