How to Make the Ultimate, Fully Loaded Sheet Pan Nachos
Is there anything better than diving into a plate of nachos? I think not.
Nachos are one of the most straightforward recipes out there. Brown your protein of choice (in order to justify the ludicrous amount of cheese I use, I opt for ground turkey), layer your toppings, and cook. Boom. All done.
I add homemade crema and pickled onions to give it a little something extra.
Enjoy!

- Try to wait until slightly cooled to devour.
Homemade Crema
This recipe isn’t an exact science, so the measurements are roughly accurate. The consistency of the final sauce should resemble a thin yogurt.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- Approximately 2 tbsp cultured lowfat buttermilk
- Juice from 1 lime
- Salt (optional)
Directions
- Whisk the sour cream, buttermilk, and lime juice together.
- Add salt to taste, if using.
Pickled Onions
Ingredients
- 1 red onion
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
Directions
- Thinly slice the onion and place in a 16-ounce jar.
- Whisk vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour the mixture over the sliced onions. Let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Cover and store any leftover onions in the refrigerator.
