Ingredients
- 1 Pound Ground Beef – we sometimes substitute ground turkey or ground chicken. You can also make it vegetarian by using no meat or meatless crumbles.
- 1 Package Taco Seasoning
- 1 13-ounce bag tortilla chips
- 1/2 Cup Water
- Fresh Tomatoes
- 1/2 Cup Red Onion
- Fresh Cilantro
- 2 cups shredded cheese – I usually go with a Mexican cheese blend, which typically includes cheddar, Monterey Jack, Asadero, and Queso or some combination of these cheeses.
- Jalapenos
- Black Olives
- Sour cream
- Serve with our homemade salsa and guacamole
How to Make Sheet Pan Nachos
- Cook the ground beef on medium heat until browned and drain the fat thoroughly.
- Return the beef to the pan to heat and add the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer.
- In a sheet pan with sides, layer chips, beef mixture, and cheese.
- Broil on HIGH for a minute or until cheese is melted.
- Top with the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro, jalapeno, black olives, and sour cream before serving. Feel free to add all of your favorite toppings!
Optional Topping
- Jalapenos
- Black Beans
- Corn
- Corn Salsa
- Avocado
- Anything that you love on nachos!
Storage Instructions
- Nachos are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to crisp them back up. Avoid the microwave if you want to keep the chips from getting soggy.
- For best results, store toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and salsa separately and add them after reheating.

Ty love your tshirts!!!
Delicious and filling!
I had one problem making the nachos. I went to put my pan in the broiler and it wouldn’t fit, it was too big and I don’t have any other sided pans that are smaller. I had to put mine in the oven. Anyone else have this issue??
There’s a broil option on the oven.
I’ve been making them this way for years…
I know it’s probably obvious, but I think you left out the cheese in the recipe. Looks yummy. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Crazy that you are the first person to notice this! Thank you – added the cheese into the ingredient list!
Made these for the superbowl. I added tomatoes, cilantro, banana peppers,black olives, black beans and onion. Put on the cheese and put under broiler til melted. Soooo yummy!
So glad you liked them
Sheet pan nachos? Damn, you’re so creative! I would never think of preparing nachos this way. I can’t wait to try it!
