Sliding Sheet Pan Nachos are a fun and crowd-pleasing appetizer loaded with crispy tortilla chips, melted cheese, seasoned meat, beans, and fresh toppings. The parchment-lined sheet pan makes serving easy by allowing the nachos to slide directly onto a platter.

Notes

  • Use sturdy tortilla chips to support the toppings without breaking.
  • Add fresh toppings after baking to keep the chips crisp.
  • Substitute shredded chicken, steak, or plant-based protein for the ground meat.
  • Pepper jack or Colby Jack cheese can be used for additional flavor.
  • Prepare toppings ahead of time for quick assembly.
  • Store leftover nachos and toppings separately for the best texture.
