Crispy Base + Melty Sauce + Flavorful Topping = Nachos make a perfect sheet pan dinner!
It’s like a dream come true! First, because you now have an invitation to eat a plate of nachos as a real meal, and second, because here are dozens and dozens of recipes and ideas to transform this beloved snack into a nourishing sheet pan dinner. Plus dessert.
           
Written by the irrepressible Dan Whalen, Nachos for Dinner combines the mad-genius spirit of his previous books, ‘Smores and Tots!, with the practical brilliance of Sheet Pan Suppers. First Whalen breaks down the nacho’s intrinsic appeal to its three essential components—a crispy base, a melty sauce, and a flavorful topper. And then he gives you the three flavor profiles—a lot of umami, a little heat, and something bright-tasting, whether pickled or fresh. From there the world is your nacho plate.
           
Of course there’s the chips-and-cheese classic, but then the nachos veer decidedly into dinner, with favorites from every part of the meal from French Onion Nachos, Buffalo Chicken Nachos, and Cobb Salad Nachos to Fish Taco Nachos, Banh Mi Nachos, and Shrimp and Grits Nachos. And there are plenty of not-chos (that is, nachos that use other ingredients for the chips)—like Lasagnachos, Scallion Pancake Nachos, and Pretzel and Brat'chos. Even Apple Pie Nachos for dessert.

      In this crowd-pleaser, Whalen (S'mores!), creator of the blog The Food in my Beard, gives "readers permission to eat a plate of nachos as a real meal" in the form of satisfying sheet-pan dinners. He opens by establishing the "Three Pillars of Nacho": for the "crispy base," he starts with homemade tortilla chips; for the "melty layer," he goes with a nacho cheese sauce; and to finish things off, he leans on pico de gallo as a "flavorful topper." Following that are a number of fun and creative toppings—including a fresh peach habanero salsa, red curry chickpeas, and chili-lime grilled chicken—which feature later in such sheet-pan recipes as Cobb salad nachos, plantain nachos with carnitas and black beans, and breakfast nachos ("a riff that is straight-up bacon and eggs on chips"). Equally enticing are his "nachofied" twists on international fare, such as scallion pancake nachos and chicken tikka masala "naanchos," which uses crispy naan in place of chips. Just when readers think they've seen and tasted it all, Whelan dives into desserts, using unbaked pie crusts to create apple pie nachos and cinnamon sugar–dusted tortilla chips to create "Churrochos." This innovative take will inspire home cooks to turn a classic snack into a reliable dinner.
