- Chopped onion – Yellow onion or white onion will be best to use when making nachos.
- Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese – This blend of cheeses will give the best flavor to your nachos. You can also use Mexican blend shredded cheese, Colby Jack cheese, or any other blend you prefer.
- Taco seasoning – Store-bought taco seasoning and homemade taco seasoning will both give great flavor to your nachos.
- Black beans – If you’re not a fan of black beans, pinto beans would be the perfect replacement!
- Olive oil – Use olive oil or butter to sauté the onion.
- Salsa – Grab a jar of salsa from the grocery store, or easily make a fresh batch of homemade salsa!

How to Make Blackstone Loaded Nachos

Season the ground beef and onions with taco seasoning and add salsa. Mix everything together until the seasoning is evenly distributed. You may need to add a splash or two of water to help the taco seasoning mix in with the beef and onions.
Spread a layer of tortilla chips onto a clean baking sheet. Then, add half of the shredded cheese, the beef and onions, black beans and then layer the top with the rest of the shredded cheese.
Place the baking sheet of loaded nachos onto the Blackstone and cover it. Let the nachos on Blackstone cook for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is completely melted.

How to Store Leftover Blackstone Nachos
Store Blackstone grill nachos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. After that, they won’t reheat well and will be quite soggy.
How to Reheat Leftover Nachos
To reheat, place the nachos onto a baking sheet and into a hot oven. Bake until the meat is warm and the chips have crisped up.
Can I use other meat on Blackstone loaded nachos?
Feel free to use any type of meat you want on these nachos! Needing something lower calorie? Then brown some ground turkey or ground chicken. Additionally, diced or shredded grilled chicken would be tasty. You can make nachos with pork carnitas and steak fajita meat as well!
Pro Tips!
- Give some kick to these nachos by using spicy taco seasoning or adding some jalapeños as a topping!
- Make sure when you brown the ground beef that you separate it into small pieces. This way, it is much easier to evenly distribute the beef across the nachos.
- Try to make a single layer of tortilla chips on the baking sheet. Too many layered chips will be difficult to cover in meat and cheese.
These Blackstone nachos are undoubtedly one of our favorite Blackstone recipes! Once you make them, we think you’ll agree!
