Some nights you want a real dinner and something that feels like a party at the same time. This sheet pan of loaded nachos is both: cumin-and-chili seasoned ground beef and black beans piled onto thick tortilla chips, blanketed in sharp cheddar, then finished with cool avocado, salsa, sour cream, and cilantro.
The difference between great nachos and a sad, soggy pile comes down to the order of operations. The chips get a quick dry toast in a hot oven, the cheese goes down before anything wet, and the whole pan finishes under a fast broiler so you get bubbling edges and golden spots instead of a steam bath.
You can have this on the table in about 35 minutes, and because it all happens on one sheet pan, there is exactly one dish to wash. Set the cold toppings out in small bowls and let everyone build their own plate straight from the pan.
