We’re about to be best friends. Because I made you sheet pan nachos! We’ve all ordered nachos at a restaurant, and the chips on the top are covered with cheesy goodness, but the chips on the bottom are soggy.
Baking your nachos on a sheet pan solve this problem. You’re welcome. These are a great crowd-pleasing appetizer but can also be enjoyed for dinner. Which we did. With no regrets.
The recipes for guacamole and pico de gallo are simple and quick, but feel free to use your own favorite recipe if you have one! The toppings are endless for these nachos. Feel free to add pickled jalapeños, a different kind of meat, or whatever else you love on your nachos!
