A quick and easy sheet pan nachos recipe perfect for feeding a crowd with crispy edges, melted cheese, and flavorful toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Tortilla chips (sturdy, thick-cut)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)
  • 1 pound ground beef (lean or medium), seasoned with taco spices
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Fresh jalapeños, sliced
  • Green onions, thinly sliced
  • Diced tomatoes (Roma or vine tomatoes preferred)
  • Sliced black olives (optional)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Sour cream (for serving)
  • Guacamole (for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper)
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning and water, simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  5. Spread a single, even layer of tortilla chips across the pan without overcrowding.
  6. Spoon the seasoned beef evenly over the chips.
  7. Scatter rinsed black beans over the beef.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top.
  9. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly with crispy edges.
  10. Remove from oven and immediately scatter diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, green onions, and sliced olives on top.
  11. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream and guacamole on the side.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1-2 minutes but watch closely to avoid burning. Layer cheese between toppings to bind and keep chips crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent sogginess. Use foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Substitute ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter or vegetarian option. Use vegan cheese and sour cream for dairy-free needs.
