These sheet pan nachos combine crunchy tortilla chips, creamy refried beans, and a blend of three cheeses for a quick, satisfying, and crowd-pleasing snack or meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (about 180 g) sturdy tortilla chips
  • 1 cup (240 ml) refried beans, canned or homemade
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup (50 g) crumbled queso fresco
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sliced jalapeños, fresh or pickled
  • 2–3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) smoked paprika
  • Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Optional extras: sour cream or guacamole for serving, diced tomatoes or salsa for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Set aside.
  3. Spread tortilla chips evenly across a rimmed sheet pan, keeping them mostly in a single layer.
  4. Dollop refried beans in small spoonfuls over the chips and gently spread to coat each chip lightly without making them soggy.
  5. Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the beans and chips.
  6. Generously sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the layered chips and beans, then crumble queso fresco on top.
  7. Scatter sliced jalapeños and green onions evenly across the pan.
  8. Drizzle olive oil lightly over the top to help cheese melt evenly and prevent chips from drying out.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, watching closely starting at 9 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden but not burnt.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

Notes

Watch the oven closely starting at 9 minutes to avoid burning the cheese. Spread refried beans thinly to prevent soggy chips. Let nachos rest a minute before serving to allow cheese to set slightly. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free chips. For dairy-free, substitute cheeses with vegan alternatives and sour cream with coconut yogurt.
