Sheet Pan Beef Nachos
Layered Sheet Pan Beef Nachos loaded with seasoned ground beef, refried beans, and a blend of melted cheeses, all baked until hot and melty. Finished with fresh toppings, these nachos are built for sharing and best served straight from the oven while the chips are still crisp.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning homemade or storebought
- ½ cup water
- 1 bag tortilla chips 12 ounce bag, or about 8 cups
- 2 cups refried beans homemade or storebought
- 1 ½ to 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ to 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ¼ cup black olives sliced, optional
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved, or diced tomatoes
- 2 to 3 green onions sliced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- ¼ cup pickled jalapenos
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil if you want easier cleanup.
- Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease. Stir the taco seasoning and water into the beef. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Spread a thin layer of tortilla chips on the sheet pan. Add about half of the seasoned beef over the chips. Dot half of the refried beans over the beef, then sprinkle with about half of the cheese and half of the sliced black olives.
- Add a second light layer of chips over the first layer. Top with the remaining beef, the remaining refried beans, the rest of the cheese, and the rest of the olives.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the nachos are heated through. Remove the pan from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, and pickled jalapenos.
Notes
Dot the refried beans: Add them in small spoonfuls instead of spreading a thick layer to avoid weighing down the chips.
Shred your own cheese: It melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
Add fresh toppings after baking: This keeps them crisp instead of wilted.
Serve right away: Add guacamole, sour cream, and salsa to the side for dipping.
