• Protein – Ground beef and chorizo sausage form the base of the meat topping.
• Tortilla Chips – A pan of chips are the base of these supreme nachos.
• Onion and Garlic – Onion and garlic expand the flavor of the meaty topping.

• Beans – One can of Ranch style beans.

• Toppings – Pico de gallo, diced avocado, sliced fresh jalapeno peppers, green onions, black olives, green chiles and crema or sour cream for serving.

How to Make the Best Loaded Nachos Supreme Recipe in the Oven

• Heat Oven and Prepare the Pan – Preheat the oven and lightly spray a large rimmed grill pan or baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Cook the Beef and Chorizo – In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook together ground beef, chorizo and onion with oil, just until lightly pink.
• Add Seasonings – Add garlic, taco seasoning, cumin and lemon pepper. Stir well cooking until no pink remains in the meat. Drain most of the drippings reserving some for the beans.
• Warm Beans – Add pinto beans to the pan, simmer in the drippings to season.
• Assemble the Nachos: Spread one layer of tortilla chips to completely cover the prepared pan. Drizzle chips with queso and pepper jack cheese,
• Top with Meat and Beans – Arrange meat mixture and beans over the cheese. Repeat layers, ending with shredded colby jack cheese.
• Oven – Bake per the cook time in the recipe just until cheese has melted.
• Serve immediately garnished with pico de gallo, diced avocado, sliced jalapeno peppers, sour cream and lime or any of your favorite taco toppings.

Kitchen Equipment To Make Loaded Nachos Supreme Recipe

• A large rimmed grill pan, griddle or sheet pan for baking the supreme nachos.
• A large skillet to brown ground beef and chorizo.
• A chopping board and sharp knife for chopping vegetables and limes.
• Microwave safe bowl for melting queso. A pouring spout is helpful.
• Measuring spoons for measuring spices.

Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

• Protein – I highly recommend the blended flavor of ground beef and chorizo sausage for these nachos. That said, you could opt to use all beef, or all chorizo should you prefer to do so. You could also use ground chicken or ground turkey.
• Cheese – You could use nacho cheese sauce in place of queso. You could also use another variety of shredded cheese such as cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese.
• Salt – The drippings left behind in the pan from cooking the chorizo usually has ample salt to season the pinto beans. You can taste and adjust the salt to your taste, or adjust the amount of taco seasoning, if you opt for an all ground beef nachos version.
• Pan Option – I make these pan nachos using my large rimmed grill pan. When doing it this way, I find that the chips stay crisp when drizzled with the gooey queso due to the ridges in the pan. You can, of course, use a large standard sheet pan or oven safe griddle instead. Feel free to line the pan with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
• Pico de Gallo – In place of pico de gallo you could top these nachos with salsa or diced fresh tomatoes and sliced jalapenos with diced onion, instead. If you aren’t a fan of jalapenos, use green pepper for a milder option.
• Veggie Toppings – Green onions, lettuce, pickled jalapeños, diced red onions or ANY toppings you love!

Storage and Leftovers

• Make-Ahead – You can make the chorizo mixture up to one day in advance to expedite assembling the nachos.
• Leftovers – You can store leftover nacho supreme in an airtight container chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheating – Reheat in a preheated 375°F oven until the chips have crisped and the cheese is soft and gooey.

Toppings for Supreme Nachos

• The perfect accompaniment for nachos supreme is a big batch of homemade Pico de Gallo to go on top.
• In addition to the diced avocado, I usually serve a dish of Fresh Guacamole on the side.
• Roasted Mexican Corn or Roasted Sweet Corn Salsa would be a tasty addition sprinkled on top.
• Other optional toppings suggestions include sliced ripe olives, fresh cilantro, refried beans, green onion, hot sauce or crema or a generous serving of Restaurant Style Salsa.
• Slow Cooker Queso Blanco Dip is packed with flavor.
• You can dollop this Bean Dip on top in place of beans or serve it on the side.
• Classic Salsa Verde.
