Sheet pan nachos are a perfect snack for game day. They are quick and easy and ready to serve with any toppings desired.
Jump to RecipeWe recently made some homemade queso, and had a lot leftover. Well, along with the queso was the chips to eat it. But, I wasn’t really in the mood for leftover queso, and nachos sounded amazing.
So, we did what we do best and decided to try making some quick and easy sheet pan nachos. They are perfect for a family snack or would be a great option for game day at home.
Personally, I don’t like when chips start to get soggy, so I don’t order nachos when we are out places. It takes too long from when it’s cooked until I eat it. Yes, it’s a texture thing, but if my chip can fold without breaking, I won’t eat it.
Making sheet pan nachos at home is so easy, and you can eat them immediately, eliminating the worry of soggy chips.

Sheet Pan Nachos Step by Step
Preheat the oven to 400F. Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Drain the ground beef and mix in the taco seasoning.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with tortilla chips.

Spread the cooked taco meat over the chips.

Sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Bake for about 5-10 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven and drizzle with queso.

Garnish with onion, jalapeno, sour cream, or any other desired toppings.

Sheet Pan Nachos Leftovers
Any leftover sheet pan nachos likely won’t keep well. As I mentioned previously, the chips get soggy with the cheese on them. If you’re not going to eat it all at once, I would cook the meat, but then store that separately. When you’re ready for another batch, put them together and bake them at that time.

We love to make sheet pan nachos! Its actually on our meal plan for next week! We use black bean hummus and its SO SO SO good!
Oh, I never tried hummus on nachos before, that sounds like a great idea! I will have to do that next time.
We do Nachos for dinner on Friday and I will have this on my table. Thanks for sharing.
That’s awesome! I hope you enjoy my version 🙂
I don’t know what to say except this is sooooo delicious!!! I can’t wait to make it this weekend, can’t wait.
You’re right, so yummy 🙂 Enjoy!
This looks so yummy. I haven’t thought of this idea to use nachos but would love to actually try it from your pictures. Looks so good
It’s a pretty easy way to make some quick homemade nachos. I hope you get a chance to try it out!
I love making nachos, although they can be a little costly here in Japan as most things are important. But nice to eat!
I didn’t think about some of our staple foods here being imported into other places and having higher costs. Though now that you mention that I remember it being the case even in Hawaii.
This looks so delicious that I can’t imagine any leftover nachos from this. I would love to make a veggie based version. Yum
We didn’t have much leftover either. About the only part that wasn’t eaten was the ones on my kid’s plates because they didn’t care for it! But you could easily swap the ground beef for beans to make it a meatless meal.
Wow this looks so delish! I want to make it for my husband!
The cheese on this looks so delicious!
I absolutely love making nachos at home. I am definitely going to have to make these soon for my family.
Yes to Nachos!!! Who doesn’t like Nachos, delicious!!! I can’t wait to make your recipe, can’t wait!
Nachooooosssss….Your recipe looks so delicious…I can’t wait to make it, so good.
I can’t wait to try these. They look tasty, the sound easy. AND nachos are a food group for me.
I am always making nachos at home. Just really love them
I agree with you about not liking soft nachos, they need to be crunchy. And these nachos look super tasty x
We both love eating nachos. This recipe looks yummy. We eat veg so I can skip beef and put beans in it.
Seriously craving nachos all day. Maybe I’ll make some after work tomorrow. I like that you used queso.
