Keep these tips in mind when making skillet nachos:

  • Grab a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe skillet. You’ll also need some aluminum foil to cover the top of your nachos if you don’t have a lid.
  • Prep ahead by cooking the ground beef with a taco seasoning packet, or use this easy recipe for homemade taco seasoning.
  • Customize this recipe to your liking. Any of the ingredients can be altered or omitted, and of course, this can be made without meat if desired.
  • Split the ingredients into two layers so that you’ll have toppings on all the chips.
  • Place this skillet over the campfire or hot coals for about 15 minutes until the cheese is melted, or use your BBQ grill on medium heat.

    My BIL makes something similar. He uses Black Beans and instead of corn he uses a can of drained Rotel. Then hits it with a few squeezes of fresh lime juice once it’s heated through. Yummm. We’re not going camping til next month, but this has my mouth watering that I might make it Friday for dinner! Serve it with some diced avocado and sour cream.

    Do the nachos get soggy?

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi there! I have made oven nachos often and I find most of the chips to stay nice and crispy. Some may get a little softer, however they are still SO yummy! Hope you enjoy these if you decide try them! πŸ’•πŸ€—

    Can you make these in the air fryer?

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yes, I am sure you can try layering in the air fryer basket. Try 325 degrees for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Let us know how it goes! Yum!
