Cook Time: 18 minutes

Green Giant product(s) used: Green Giant® SteamCrisp® Mexicorn®

Lists of ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
    1 package taco seasoning
    1 can (7 ounces) Green Giant® SteamCrisp® Mexicorn®, drained
    1 bag (11 ounce) thick tortilla chips
    1 can (15.5 ounces) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
    2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    ¼ cup pickled jalapeños
    1 cup guacamole
    1/3 cup sour cream
    2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro

STEPS

1 Preheat oven to 350ºF. Add ground beef to a skillet over medium heat and use a spatula to separate it into small crumbles. Cook for 5 minutes. Add taco seasoning and stir well. Cook for 5 minutes longer, until beef is fully cooked and reaches 160ºF. Stir in Mexicorn.
2 Spread tortilla chips on baking sheet and top with 1 cup of cheddar cheese, ground beef and pinto beans. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese on top. Bake for 8 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
3 Top nachos with jalapeños, guacamole, sour cream and cilantro. Serve warm.

TIPS & TRICKS

We tend to love tortilla chips because they’re so crispy – but we’re generally not such fans when they turn soggy! So, keep these pointers in mind when making loaded sheet pan nachos, and your chips should still taste fresh when you pull them out of the oven:

1. Use thicker, sturdier tortilla chips that can handle all those delicious toppings.
2. Spread your chips in an even, single layer, so they have enough room to cook, and get a second pan if needed.
3. Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheddar on your chips before adding any other toppings, since cheese is an excellent moisture barrier.

Distribute add-ons evenly over the chips so they don’t become too crowded in one area.
