We took sheet-pan
nachos and gave them the flamin’ hot treatment—and we don’t just mean making them spicy, we mean amping them up with the zest, zing, and delicate heat of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. So how do you turn ordinary nachos into something flamin’? Start with the meat mixture. Rather than just flavoring the ground beef with taco spice, we cooked it with cumin, then finished the seasoning with crushed Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. For a flamin’ finish, top with some of the typical nacho toppings in addition to sliced jalapeño and a drizzle of sriracha sour cream. A sprinkle of more crushed Cheetos lets everyone know these aren’t ordinary nachos.
It’s all about topping coverage here at Delish, and that’s why we like to bake our nachos on a large rimmed baking sheet rather than pile them up on a smaller one. It makes sense if it really bugs you when you get a nacho that is covered in toppings and then one that is not so much. A large baking sheet allows for everything to be distributed in a nice even layer.
