Loaded Sheet Pan Beef Nachos
Description
This recipe starts by browning ground beef seasoned with taco spices and lime juice, which adds a bright note to the savory meat. The beef is spread evenly over tortilla chips on a greased baking sheet along with black beans and corn for additional texture and flavor. Cheddar-based Mexican blend cheese is sprinkled on top, then baked until melted and starting to brown at the edges, enhancing the nachos with a creamy, slightly crisp layer.
The nachos are then dressed with fresh toppings such as diced onions, jalapeño slices for heat, chopped tomatoes, and cilantro, creating a fresh and lively contrast against the rich beef and cheese. The inclusion of sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole, salsa, and salsa verde allows for a customizable flavor profile with cool, spicy, and tangy elements.
This dish is suited for casual gatherings or a comforting snack, served warm to enjoy the melted cheese and layered flavors. It can be adapted with favorite toppings or additional beans and vegetables as desired.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef (I like to use 85/15)
- 1 (1 oz) taco seasoning packet
- 1-2 Tbsp lime juice fresh is best
- 9 oz tortilla chips choose your fave!, bag
- 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels either frozen (and thawed), or canned
- 1 1/2 cup Mexican blend cheese shredded
TOPPINGS
- 1 cup onion diced, or red onion
- 2 fresh jalapeños sliced
- 1-2 Roma tomato chopped
- 1/3 cup cilantro fresh, minced

- salsa
- salsa verde
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a large baking sheet (or cover in foil).
- In a large skillet over medium high heat crumble the beef. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 - 7 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning and the amount of water called for on the packet (this is usually ⅓ cup).
- Stir in 1 tbsp lime juice. Cook until the liquid has evaporated and remove from heat.
- Arrange the tortilla chips in an even layer on your baking sheet. Top with the ground beef, black beans, corn and cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven 5 - 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and a few of the chips around the edges are lightly browned.
