Sheet pan ground beef nachos are the ultimate quick and easy meal for those busy weeknights when you want something delicious without spending hours in the kitchen. Growing up in the Midwest, nachos were a staple at every family gathering, and now, as a working professional, I find them to be a lifesaver when I need to whip up something fast. This recipe is perfect for a casual dinner or even a game day snack. The best part? Everything comes together on one pan, making cleanup a breeze!
These nachos are fantastic on their own, but if you're looking to round out the meal, consider serving them with a side of fresh guacamole or a crisp garden salad. A refreshing limeade or a cold beer pairs wonderfully with the cheesy, savory flavors. If you're feeling a bit more indulgent, a side of cheesy queso dip or some spicy jalapeño poppers would be a hit.

1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup sour cream

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

On a large sheet pan, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.
Sprinkle the cooked ground beef evenly over the chips.
Add the black beans, black olives, diced tomatoes, and jalapeños over the beef.
Top everything with the shredded cheddar cheese.

Variations & Tips
For a vegetarian version, skip the ground beef and add more beans or some sautéed mushrooms for a hearty texture. If you like it spicy, add some hot sauce or extra jalapeños. You can also switch up the cheese—pepper jack or a Mexican cheese blend would be delicious. For a healthier twist, use baked tortilla chips and lean ground turkey instead of beef.
