- Optional Variations:
- While I love these sheet pan nachos just the way they're written, there's plenty of room for customization. Here are a few variations to consider:
- Nutrition does not include toppings.
Here are some other topping options:
pickled red onions shredded lettuce sliced olives guacamole
- pickled red onions
- shredded lettuce
- sliced olives
- guacamole
- Grain-Free Nachos - If you have a corn allergy in the crowd, consider using french fries or tater tots as your base in place of tortilla chips like in this Pork Green Chile Loaded Nacho Fries recipe.
- Vegetarian Nachos - Use meat-free crumbles in place of the ground beef, or simply add extra black beans to the mix.
- Lighter Nachos - Using lighter ground turkey, ground chicken, or ground bison can save you a few calories. You can also swap in greek yogurt for sour cream.
