Whether it's the Super Bowl, Sunday game day, movie night with the family, or date night, loaded sheet pan nachos are a winner! Topped with flavorful taco seasoned ground beef and lots of vegetables, these nachos make a perfect hearty dinner.

Use your sheet pan as a serving dish for easy eating and quick clean up. Simply layer your ingredients on the baking sheet and cook. You can even customize each side of the pan with different types of nachos (think chicken, veggie, spicy, mild). Or, if you're making nachos for your family and everyone likes something different.

Loaded nachos are as versatile as you want them to be! You can make them with taco seasoned chicken as well. These pulled pork nachos are another great way to make sheet pan style nachos.

Ingredients

Cheddar cheese
Mexican cheese
Tortilla chips
Beef: seasoned with taco seasoning and cooked
Peppers
Corn
Beans
Tomatoes
Cilantro
Lettuce

Variations

Make them even more loaded by adding jalapenos, red onions, and avocado.
Replace the taco-seasoned beef with chicken, or use them both. The more the merrier!
I don't layer on the tomatoes before cooking because we like our tomatoes cold. But cook yours if you'd like.

Step-By-Step Directions

Making nachos is as simple as layering your ingredients on a bed of chips on the sheet pan.

For big parties or large families, use an oversized baking sheet. For smaller crowds, a standard baking sheet and cutting the recipe in half should do it.

In a large skillet, brown the beef for 5-7 minutes, crumbling it as it cooks. Then drain the fat, add taco seasoning and water according to the package, and cook for 5 minutes longer.
Layer a large lightly oiled sheet pan with tortilla chips, ⅔ of the cheese, diced peppers, black beans, and corn. Top with the taco-seasoned beef and the remaining cheese.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until heated through and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and top with diced tomatoes, cilantro and lettuce.

Serving

Serve nachos with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole for ultimate party food status. It's unlikely you'll have any left to store. But if you do, transfer them to a small plate and keep in the fridge wrapped tightly with plastic. Reheat in the microwave for a quick 45 second warm up or in the toaster for a slow 5 minute warm. Remove as much lettuce as you can before reheating.
