Sheet Pan Nachos
Description
The recipe starts by cooking lean ground beef with chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to infuse the meat with warming spice notes. Tortilla chips are laid out on a foil-lined sheet pan, then topped with the cooked beef, black beans, and shredded cheddar cheese. Baking briefly melts the cheese and warms the layers, creating a cohesive base. After baking, dollops of prepared salsa and sour cream distribute creamy and tangy elements across the surface.
Fresh scallion slices add a mild onion bite, while the optional jalapeño slices bring an adjustable spicy note. Diced avocado adds creamy texture and coolness to contrast the warm, cheesy base. Lime wedges on the side provide a fresh citrus finish.
This dish is convenient for casual gatherings or quick meals, offering a combination of melted, crisp, spicy, and fresh sensations all in one pan.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ounce bag tortilla chips
- 1 ounce black beans drained and rinsed, canned
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup salsa prepared
- ½ cup sour cream
- 4 scallions thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño thinly sliced (optional)
- 2 avocado peeled and diced, small
- lime for serving, wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- In a large skillet, add olive oil and set over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up the beef with a fork, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until only some pink remains. Add chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, or until cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Scatter tortilla chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Top with beef, black beans and cheddar cheese. Place in the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Let cool slightly, then distribute the salsa and sour cream evenly on top of the nachos. Scatter scallions and jalapeño slices (if using), and avocado on top. Serve with fresh lime wedges on the side, and squeeze lime juice on top right before enjoying.
