   My 12 year old (who has grown up being fed Damn Delicious recipes) begged for this recipe tonight. Always a hit! Thanks as always, Chungah!

   Could you put all the ingredients together with the beans etc when you put it in the oven?

   Excellent for an easy one pan meal! Layered the taco meat & cheese over tortilla chips and baked as instructed. Served in bowls and had a self-serve bar with salsa, diced tomatoes, diced avocados, black beans, corn, cilantro, fresh sliced jalapeños, black olives, salsa con ques0 and sour cream!

   If you’re serving a large group how do you serve it? Do you plate individually?

   It was absolutely delicious! I used everything but the black beans!

   Made mine with what I had. A layer of 50/50 flour and corn tortillas on the bottom of a Pyrex 9×13 coated with canola oil spray. Then added layer of corn tostido chips, round. Then added mild cheddar cheese, Mexican four cheese, and Mozzarella, all shredded Kraft® (on sale 3/5.00) then added 5 evenly spaced teaspoons of cream cheese (Philadelphia ® on sale for 2/4.00) medium Salsa with a final quick douse of Cholula ® green Chile hot sauce, 12 minutes in a preheated oven to 375°

   They are just about done and I will finish up after going to work with a cherry Pepsi Cola!
   Aloha and Mahalo for the Kokua.

   Ohh man them tortillas on the bottom made them nacho tortillas and unbelievably great texture and flavor!

   My husband and I made Sheet Pan Nachos tonight and it came out FABULOUS! It was simple to make & tasted great! I’m passing on the recipe to my friends and family!
   Thank you!

    So glad we came across this recipe! Delish. We substituted VEGAN chorizo in place of beef and used a VEGAN cheddar. They were SO good and this was the first time we ever made nachos. We will be making again. Thank you.

    Haven’t made this yet but will need to make enough for at least 24 people. It looks fast and easy and I can almost taste it just by reading the recipe. What size sheet pan are you using? The ones I use are commercial kitchen sized.

12. Ann Lamoureux — April 4, 2021 @ 1:46 PM Reply

    Made it exactly like the recipe called for…ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!

    served with fresh guac these were actually damn delicious. Made our Super Bowl super

14. Rhonda — January 25, 2021 @ 12:41 PM Reply

    I used my own taco seasoning, added more cheese, a can of refried beans and avocado. I served it with sour cream, salsa and hot sauce. It was the perfect Sunday funday comfort for my shelter in place mates.

15. Diana — January 19, 2021 @ 12:31 PM Reply

    I haven’t made this yet because I really don’t like the taco seasoning packages. I think it takes the authenticity from a Mexican dish. Also, the sodium content is quite high. I agree with another reviewer who said it makes his wife thirsty! Do you have any suggestions as to what else I could add to the meat in its place?

    • Cathy C. — January 20, 2021 @ 8:53 AM Reply

      I have stopped using the packaged taco seasonings and make my own without salt. Google it, there’s tons of recipes out there for it!

16. Mary — January 3, 2021 @ 5:27 PM Reply

    How can you add taco seasoning after then drain I don’t get it

17. K — November 4, 2020 @ 4:43 AM Reply

    Perfect comfort food! Thanks for the recipe.

18. Mary Dumas — October 5, 2020 @ 12:35 AM Reply

    Great recipe, I used a can of chili with beans for a quick substitute, place cheese on top of chips first to keep chips from getting soggy then use other toppings and finish with cheese. Quick and good.

    Great recipe

20. Z — May 24, 2020 @ 8:38 AM Reply

    This was so delicious! I made this for dinner yesterday and it was an absolute hit. I used smoked frozen corn which added a nice flavor and two large jalapenos (they weren’t that spicy). I would recommend using two tomatoes as opposed to one if you like them as one definitely wasn’t enough,at least for my tomato loving tastes. I will definitely be making this again and thanks so much for making this recipe!

21. Diane — February 7, 2020 @ 4:21 PM Reply

    Easy peasy, came home on a Friday night to a sick dog and going out changed. Needed to get to the grocery but actually had all of the toppings. Looks delish

    Could I use a rotisserie chicken?

    • Brigitte — April 18, 2020 @ 4:36 AM Reply

      That would be delicious!

23. Zoe — November 12, 2019 @ 5:44 AM Reply

    I followed the recipe closely but somehow the beef turned out too dry and the combined 1.5 cups of cheese wasn’t enough. I might try it again but use more cheese to see if it makes a difference.

24. Nancy Este — October 19, 2019 @ 11:23 AM Reply

    Looks great. But why are the red onions for? I don’t seem to see that in your instructions.

    • Chungah @ Damn Delicious — October 19, 2019 @ 12:12 PM Reply

      Please refer to step #5:

      5. Serve immediately, topped with tomato, onion, jalapeno, sour cream and cilantro.

25. Elizabeth Farnham — October 5, 2019 @ 9:14 AM Reply

    I fried store-bought corn tortillas for even better flavor. I think my beef was too dry, even though it was 80% lean, but otherwise, this dish rocked! Attractive and yummy!

26. Brooke — August 19, 2019 @ 3:59 PM Reply

    Excellent recipe! I used a tiny bit less than the whole can of beans (probably 3/4 of the can) and didn’t measure the cheese, just sprinkled liberally…my supermarket was out of fresh jalapenos, unfortunately but pickled/diced made an acceptable substitute (next time I am getting fresh though). Thank you so much for sharing. We were looking for something different and this hit the spot. It was more than enough to feed hubby and I (kiddos wouldn’t try it but I am betting they would like it…not as spicy as I anticipated). We will definitely make this again. Inexpensive and delicious!

      Thanks so much for your feedback, Brooke! We’re so happy to hear this was a winner for you! 🙂

    Yum! We use two pans to feed hungry boys. My mom used to bake nachos in a 9×13 casserole dish when we were young. This takes me back! Sometimes I just put broccoli and bacon on ours, and the kiddos love it.

29. Myldy — January 6, 2019 @ 8:25 AM Reply

    Been sheet panning for last 30 yrs! It’s a great idea! The great thing about Nachos is that you can put anything you want on them. I use ground turkey… These look great!

30. Heidi — January 1, 2019 @ 2:55 PM Reply

    DELICIOUS! I also added shredded lettuce and diced avacodo for a healthier version!

    Delicious, easy recipe. I had carnita meat, so I used that and we loved it. I LOVE your sheet pan dinners! Thank you for sharing.

      I’m sure that was tasty!

33. Marsha — August 10, 2018 @ 11:11 AM Reply

    If you put the cheese on first your chips will stay a little bit crisper.

    • Chungah @ Damn Delicious — August 10, 2018 @ 4:55 PM Reply

      Love that!

34. Jim — June 24, 2018 @ 6:17 PM Reply

    Great dish! Instead of jalepenos’s, I used chipotle peppers, and it was awesome. I did not use the taco seasoning as my wife said it makes her too thirsty. I have to agree. (But isn’t that what beer was made for?). I especially agree with the “easy to clean-up… one dish to wash and that’s it!

    • Jana @ Damn Delicious — June 25, 2018 @ 11:03 AM Reply

      So glad to hear you liked it, Jim!

    I make pickled jalepenos to use on this, makes all the difference.

    I loved this recipe however didn’t see to add the taco mix so sprinkled it on before the cheese and added Pico De Gallo. I also left off the black beans. I put sour cream and lime in a squeeze bottle and drizzled over the top. Yummy!

39. Cheryl — June 4, 2017 @ 8:40 PM Reply

    Amazing .. made for a group of my daughters friends (teenagers) at our house for a bonfire .. the guys were so excited!

40. Karen — May 7, 2017 @ 10:38 AM Reply

    Made this for a Cinco de Mayo party and served with Guac and salsa. Everyone loved it and it was easy to put together.

41. Shawn Selman — February 12, 2017 @ 3:39 PM Reply

    Can I also use refried or pinto beans?

    • Chungah — February 14, 2017 @ 6:18 AM Reply

      Yes, absolutely. That sounds amazing!

42. Emily — January 7, 2017 @ 12:15 PM Reply

    Hi, is it seasoned or unseasoned black beans? Could you do either, or?

    • Chungah — January 7, 2017 @ 10:51 PM Reply

      Yes!

43. Robert — December 23, 2016 @ 4:32 AM Reply

    Thanks for the recipe. It was absolutely delicious.
    But although I halved all quantities, it was still too much for one. And I was left with many opened up packages too :
    ground beef,taco seasoning,tortilla chips,black beans,corn kernels,cheddar cheese,Monterey Jack cheese,Roma tomato, sour cream,fresh cilantro leaves.
    For the next batch, do you have any ideas to prevent this?

    • Chungah — December 26, 2016 @ 10:18 PM Reply

      Yes, you can try to quarter the recipe.

      • Robert — December 27, 2016 @ 3:57 AM Reply

        Thanks for responding.
        I wish that I could get quantities small enough for just a quarter of this recipe. Where I live there is only one supermarket. I count myself lucky to find every ingredient there. They have fresh meats delivered daily, but prepackaged. The smallest for ground beef is 300 grams.
        I’ll have to rethink this. Or only make this when friends come over.

        • amy — April 27, 2017 @ 6:14 AM Reply

          You could always freeze the taco meat for the next batch of nachos or tacos or any other recipe in which you use taco meat. As for the other ingredients I would also freeze the beans and corn should be fine in a cooked dish, the other things are staples in our house and can be used in so many ways before going bad.

    • Allison — November 10, 2019 @ 8:55 AM Reply

      You could use the leftovers to make a taco salad for lunch or dinner the next day. Just shred some romaine or spinach, add all your leftovers and enjoy 🙂

    Made this tonight for a party snd never making tacos any other way! So so good and easy!

46. Ita — November 14, 2016 @ 8:50 AM Reply

    These were so easy and delicious! My husband thought they tasted just like restaurant nachos. This recipe is definitely replacing my old one. My only recommendation is to use a really big sheet pan. This recipe made a lot of nachos and they were piled deliciously high! I lost a few pieces of corn/beans to tumbling out of the pan. But so yummy.

47. Lynn — October 29, 2016 @ 2:32 PM Reply

    Are the tortilla chips in this recipe cheese flavored dorito”s or regular tortilla chips?

    • Chungah — October 29, 2016 @ 2:38 PM Reply

      Just regular. 🙂

    Hi,
    Could I use an aluminum pan covered in parchment paper for this?

      Yes, absolutely.

49. Jamiejames — September 11, 2016 @ 10:44 PM Reply

    I did this exact recipe, but added water per the taco seasoning directions. Used ground turkey and topped with salsa, olives, and avocado slices in addition to this recipe’s toppings. Yum! Thank you!

    Yum. Looks like I just found what’s for dinner this weekend! 🙂

51. Cameron — September 9, 2016 @ 6:53 AM Reply

    I do sheet pan nachos all the time! I generally just use the broiler on high for a couple of minutes, then I don’t have to wait for the oven to preheat. 😀

52. Judy — September 8, 2016 @ 12:04 PM Reply

    For those of you who invested in good quality sheet pans, PLEEZE wash them by hand. Yes, they fit in the dishwasher and they are promoted as dishwasher safe but the caustic ingredients in dishwasher pods take off that pretty new shine. They’re still great, do anything and everything, just not as prettily!!

53. Harry — September 8, 2016 @ 11:52 AM Reply

    Exactly! The near virtually zero cleanup is what makes cooking with a sheet ideal!

    Sheet pans rule!
    I live in rural southern France, where the food options are French, French, French or pizza. This would be lovely but for the most important food group: Mexican. My very first job was at a Mexican restaurant, and I thought nothing of eating Mexican food three times a day. My only option is DIY. I talked my husband (Mexican is fine, but not “refined,” he contended…what would he know? He isn’t American!) into a Cinco de Mayo bash (plus: it celebrates Mexico’s defeat of Napoleon’s troops! How hilarious is that?). We invited 20 French friends and started with loaded nachos. Gotta grab them with the best stuff. I had no choice but to do sheet pans, considering the number of guests. I just kept bringing out another sheet and another….Huge hit. Somebody could make a fortune with a Mexican restaurant here.

    This looks delicious! I’m wondering if I’m supposed to add a little water to the ground beef/taco seasoning mixture? I know it instructs you to for taco meat…?

    Thanks again for so many amazing dinners!

      It is not required to add water in this recipe but as always, please do what is most comfortable for you to suit your preferences.
