Quick and Easy Sheet Pan Nachos

What makes this recipe special?
Sheet pan nachos are a go-to in our home for a weekend lunch, or a lazy dinner. Nachos are incredibly versatile since you can use whatever toppings you enjoy or have leftover in your fridge.
This “recipe” gives some good direction for what toppings will pair well together, however, the possibilities and combinations are endless. Some of my family’s other favorite are shredded chicken, shredded beef, salsa, queso…and more!
If you enjoy meal-planning, another Clove & Crumb favorite that uses pulled pork is our Smashed Sweet Potato and Pork bowls. Give them a try!
