These vegetarian sheet pan oven nachos are easily customizable to whatever you have around the house! They are an easy and tasty dinner for the whole family!
I'm not even sure why, but it seems like we've been really busy lately. And even on weekend nights, we're like "What's for dinner? Let's just make something easy." So these sheet pan nachos have wound up being our meal several times in the last few weeks.
They're kinda perfect, because all you really need are tortilla chips, and then you can top them with whatever else you have around the house that may work! Josh and I luckily like a lot of the same things. With the exception of cilantro, which he piles on his nachos after they leave the pan. NOT BEFORE. I don't want any little pieces of cilantro getting on my share of the nachos.
The other benefit of these oven baked nachos are that they are a great meal you can cook together with your significant other (or friends, or kids)! One person can chop veggies while the other person is in charge of the chips, beans, cheese, etc. At least, that's how we do it in our house! In your house you may have one person make margaritas while the other person layers the nachos. That would also be a spectacular teamwork situation.

How to make the sheet pan nachos:
Um. So easy. Really you're going to preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Then, just pile a bunch of tortilla chips on a sheet pan, spreading them out.
While the oven is heating, cook your black beans, and chop up any ingredients that need chopping.
Then, top the chips with refried black beans, cheese, tomato, and jalapenos. (If you're customizing, you'd also add anything you want to be heated up!)
Cook in the oven for 10 minutes or so, until the cheese is melted.
Top with green onion, pepperoncini peppers, salsa, and cilantro. You can also just leave the salsa out, and serve on the side.
Voila, delicious sheet pan nachos baked in the oven! That are so easy to make and vegetarian.
