These homemade oven baked nachos and cheese are perfect for Cinco de Mayo, game night, parties, or a simple snack! I top mine with Salsa Roja, Guacamole, and sour cream, and it’s always a big hit. The best thing about nachos is how versatile they are! Once you have your chips base and cheese, you can use a ton of toppings. My family loves this vegetarian version, but we’ve added shredded pork with taco seasoning and grilled chicken. The sky’s the limit!
How to Make Oven Baked Nachos & Cheese
Preheat the oven to 350°F/176°C and grease a 12-inch oven-safe skillet or small sheet pan with the oil. You only need a little oil, and a teaspoon will do. Arrange a third of the tortilla chips in a single layer in a skillet. Top chips evenly with a third of the refried beans, green chilies, chopped tomatoes, black olives, black beans, and corn. I hold off on the salsa with this layer to keep the chips from getting soggy from the moisture. Top the layer with a third of the shredded cheese. Repeat with the next layer, and on the third layer, use the remaining refried beans, green chilies, chopped tomatoes, black olives, black beans, and corn Then scatter with the salsa. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake in preheated oven until cheese melts and browns slightly, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven, and top with Guacamole, jalapeño, and sour cream. At this point, I like to drizzle my nachos with a bit of hot sauce for a little kick. That’s totally optional, though. Erren’s Kitchen is written and produced for informational intentions only.
