Sheet Pan Nachos

You had me at nachos, seriously. If anyone mentions nachos I’m there! I just love the kind of nachos that are piled high with fixings. This recipe is not only easy but something you’ll want to share with your friends. Or make it at home and have your own party.

I actually was inspired to make this from my neighbor. He brought over a appetizer for the football game. It was so simple. He carried over a sheet pan loaded with chips, onions peppers tomatoes, garlic and cheese. And cooked them at our house. They were so good! And what made them special was the blue corn tortillas chips. I thought they were so unique. So when I found these blue corn tortilla chips at target, I had to recreate it! And these chips even had flax seeds, even better! Throw in the healthy stuff when you can, I guess…

This version is made with 2 kinds of beans, tomatoes, peppers, onions, 2 kinds of cheese, then topped with guacamole and Mexican Crema (my new fav) and you can’t forget cilantro, lots of cilantro. If you would rather make it with meat go for it! With nachos anything goes, right?

Here are some of the ingredients we will be using. Missing the Garlic, Cheeses and Mexican Crema.

How to make Sheet Pan Nachos

And squeeze 1 lime over your tomato, onion, pepper mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Make sure to taste it, and add more salt and cilantro if needed. Let it sit in the fridge while you get your beans are ready.

Now drain and rinse your beans. Add them to a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin. And 1 teaspoon of Ancho chile powder. Toss your beans to mix in your seasoning.

Get your chips ready by laying parchment paper on a cookie sheet, Or tin foil is ok too. And add the whole bag of Blue corn tortilla chips to your pan.

First add your bean mixture, spreading it evenly over your chips. Then add your tomato, pepper, onion mixture on top, leaving the juice behind. We don’t want soggy chips, right?

Now add your cheddar jack cheese (amount to your liking) And top it with some queso fresco.

Cook at 400 degrees for 15-20 mins just to warm your nachos.

Now dice up your last tomato. First you’ll want to add your guacamole to the top, then add your tomatoes. And dollops of Mexican Crema, cilantro and some Queso fresco. If you don’t want to use exactly these ingredients, that’s ok! Anything goes with nachos!
