Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the plant-based steak strips and season with salt, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through. Remove from heat.
On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.
Sprinkle the black beans and corn evenly over the tortilla chips.
Add the cooked plant-based steak strips on top.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese (or plant-based alternative) evenly over the entire sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the nachos from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, red onion, and sliced jalapeños if desired.
Drizzle sour cream and guacamole over the top, or serve them on the side.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
