00:01Sheet Pan Nachos are the MVP of crowd-pleasing recipes.
00:07They look impressive, taste incredible, and require minimal effort.
00:12Perfectly seasoned ground beef and melted cheese atop crispy chips create a dive-worthy dish.
00:18Each layered chip bursts with flavor, leaving everyone eager for the recipe.
00:22For the seasoned ground beef, heat one tablespoon of olive oil and cook one pound of ground beef or chicken, turkey, or plant-based protein with one tablespoon tomato paste, two teaspoons chili powder, half a teaspoon each of ground cumin, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, plus one-quarter teaspoon dried oregano.
00:42For the nacho base, use 10 ounces of tortilla chips, 4 cups of Mexican-blend shredded cheese, 1 cup of cooked black beans, and 1 cup of cooked yellow corn, dividing each ingredient as needed for layering.
00:56For optional fresh toppings, include diced Roma tomatoes, pickled jalapenos, sour cream or Mexican crema, diced red onions, and chopped fresh cilantro.
01:07Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
01:11This prevents sticking and simplifies cleanup with melted cheese.
01:16Heat olive oil until it shimmers.
01:18This indicates the oil is hot enough to properly brown the meat without steaming.
01:22Add the one pound ground beef, one tablespoon tomato paste, two teaspoons chili powder, one half teaspoon each of ground cumin, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, and one-quarter teaspoon dried oregano to the hot skillet.
01:37Break the meat into bite-sized chunks and cook until browned.
01:40The meat should sizzle consistently.
01:42Layer half of the tortilla chips on the baking sheet, allowing some overlap.
01:47Top with half of the seasoned ground beef, cheese, black beans, and corn.
01:52Repeat with the remaining ingredients to create a generous second layer, ensuring even flavor distribution and preventing soggy chips.
02:00Bake in the preheated oven for 4 to 6 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
02:04Watch carefully.
02:05Remove from the oven and top with fresh toppings.
02:08Serve immediately while the cheese is still hot and stretchy.
