Ingredients
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey substitute)
– 2 tbsp taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
– 1 cup salsa (savory, without fruit)
– 1 bag corn chips (about 12 to 16 oz, sturdy corn tortilla chips)
– 1 can black beans (15 oz), drained and rinsed (or about 1 cup drained)
– 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen), drained
– 1/2 cup sliced black olives, drained
– 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (or cheddar or other melty cheese)
– 1 Roma tomato, diced
– 1 small red onion, diced small
– thinly sliced jalapeno, to taste
– fresh cilantro, chopped, to taste
– sour cream, for serving
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat and prep your pan Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. This helps with easy serving and keeps cleanup stress-free.
2-Second Step: Brown the meat with olive oil In a skillet, brown the ground beef in olive oil. Let it cook until the meat is fully browned. Then drain excess fat so the nachos stay flavorful but not greasy.
3-Third Step: Mix in taco seasoning and salsa After draining, mix in taco seasoning and salsa. Stir until the mixture looks evenly coated and smells delicious. This is where your Sheet Pan Nachos get that signature taco-like flavor.
4-Fourth Step: Arrange chips in a single layer Place corn chips in a single layer on the baking sheet. Try not to overlap too much, especially toward the edges. For extra crispiness, use a double chip layer in the center where toppings pile up.
5-Fifth Step: Layer the savory toppings Now add the filling in layers: spread the beef mixture, then scatter black beans, corn, sliced black olives, and finish with shredded cheese. Keep the cheese fairly even so it melts over the whole pan.
6-Sixth Step: Bake until cheese melts and bubbles Bake for 5 to 6 minutes, just until the cheese melts and bubbles. Don’t walk away here, because cheese can go from perfect to burnt faster than you think.
7-Final Step: Garnish and serve Remove the pan promptly when the cheese is bubbling. Top with diced Roma tomato, diced small red onion, thinly sliced jalapeno, and fresh cilantro. Serve with sour cream on the side or dolloped on top right before eating.
