These loaded baked nachos are easy-to-make and filled with delicious, fresh ingredients - a perfect party appetizer or weeknight meal.

The classic nachos consist of melting shredded cheese on tortilla chips in the microwave. Don’t get me wrong, I still love those nachos! I decided to take nachos to the next level and make them in a sheet pan. This way everyone can dig in all at the same time.

Toamtoes
Avocados
Green onions
Salsa
Sour cream

Equipment Needed

For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:

Skillet: This is one of our favorite skillets. We love the heat safe grip and scratch resistant surface. The glass lid is great while you are cooking.
Sheet Pan (Quarter): If you are making these sheet pan loaded baked nachos, then you definitely need a nice pan. We love these big 13 x 18 inch pans.
Chef Knife
Cutting Board
Spoon (Wooden): We love the extra long handle and extra large head on this serving spoon. It’s great for big scoops. A favorite with all of the sisters.
Spoon (Slotted)
High Temp Meat Chopper: This is our go-to kitchen gadget when browning any type of ground meat. You can easily break up the meat into the size you want it with this handy tool.

How to Make Our Loaded Baked Nachos

Preheat your oven to 350℉.
On the stove top, brown ground beef on medium high heat until brown. Drain grease well. Add your taco seasoning and set aside.
On a cookie sheet, spread out your chips so they cover the majority of the bottom.
On top of the chips, spoon the cooked meat and black beans, spreading them out at evenly as possible. Sprinkle cheese on top of the meat and beans.
Place in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes, or until your cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and top with the tomatoes, avocados, and green onions. Spread them out as evenly as possible.
Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Recipe Notes

You can modify the ingredients of this recipe based on your preferences. We just recommend using fresh produce. Please note that modifications will alter the nutritional information shown in the recipe card.
You can easily substitute the ground beef for pork, chicken, or shredded beef. You can also make these nachos meatless.
Broiling will work with these nachos, but if you are a minute too long, your nachos will burn. Baking does not take long, and the chips come out crisp, and the cheese is deliciously melted.
