Sheet Pan Nachos are loaded with toppings and are sure to be a great crowd-pleaser – perfect for Cinco de Mayo!

Nachos are one of my favorite foods! Every time I go out to a restaurant and see nachos on the menu I want to get them as my meal for the night. For some reason, I always talk myself out of it, one of the reasons is because usually when I get them they are not as good as when I make them at home.

Not that I am bragging that my cooking is better, there are just different things that I love so much more when I make them at home. I think a big thing for me with nachos is I get to choose how much of each ingredient goes on and in what order. My husband doesn’t really like sour cream, but I do! So when I make them I put minimal sour cream to appease both parties.

The great thing about these nachos too is that you can prep everything ahead of time, so if you wanted to make them for a get together at your home, they are very simple to just throw together as you are entertaining. I used ground beef for our nachos, but if you prefer ground chicken or turkey that will work just as well. Also, the recipe below is everything that I love for loaded nachos. If you like fresh jalapenos instead of jarred go ahead and put that on top instead. That is the beauty of these nachos you can make them your own. Some extra topping ideas are shredded lettuce, guacamole, cut up avocado, salsa, and onion.
