Nachos are the ultimate home tailgating experience! These Classic Nachos are made with a combo of ground beef, homemade roasted green chile salsa, and black beans. Then the magic mountain is topped with shredded Monterey jack cheese and baked. Don’t forget to set out your favorite toppings!
In a large skillet season ground beef with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until brown. Drain off fat.
Stir the black beans and the 1 cup salsa into the beef.
Arrange half of the tortilla chips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spoon half of the mixture over chips. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from oven. Top with remaining chips, beef mixture, and cheese. Bake for 10 minutes more or until cheese melts.
If desired, top with green onion, jalapeño slices, tomato, sour cream, cilantro, guacamole, additional salsa.

Optional Variations:While I love these sheet pan nachos just the way they're written, there's plenty of room for customization. Here are a few variations to consider:
Grain-Free Nachos - If you have a corn allergy in the crowd, consider using french fries or tater tots as your base in place of tortilla chips like in this Pork Green Chile Loaded Nacho Fries recipe.
Vegetarian Nachos - Use meat-free crumbles in place of the ground beef, or simply add extra black beans to the mix.
Lighter Nachos - Using lighter ground turkey, ground chicken, or ground bison can save you a few calories. You can also swap in greek yogurt for sour cream.
