1 large bag (10-12 ounces) tortilla chips: Use your favorite kind! I prefer the thick, restaurant-style ones for maximum crunch in my Bundt Pan Nachos.
1 pound ground beef: Browned and drained of excess fat. You can also use ground turkey or shredded chicken.
1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning: Adds the perfect zesty kick to the beef. You can find this during your normal shopping trip.
1 (15-ounce) can black beans: Rinsed and drained. These add a hearty, earthy flavor to the nachos.
1 (15-ounce) can corn: Drained. Adds a touch of sweetness and a pop of color.
1 (16-ounce) jar salsa: Use your favorite heat level! I usually go for medium in my Bundt Pan Nachos.
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese: Feel free to mix it up with Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend.
1/2 cup pickled jalapeños: Sliced. For that extra kick! Adjust to your spice preference. I love adding extra to my Bundt Pan Nachos for that extra kick!
1/4 cup chopped red onion: Adds a sharp, fresh bite.
1/4 cup chopped cilantro: For a burst of fresh flavor.
Sour cream, for serving: A cool and tangy contrast to the cheesy nachos.
Guacamole, for serving: Because no nachos are complete without it!
Queso, for serving: For extra cheesiness and flavor!

No worries if you don’t have black beans – I use pinto beans all the time in my Bundt Pan Nachos! This Bundt Pan Nachos gets its amazing taste from layering all the yummy ingredients together. If you are short on ideas, check out Nachos in A Bundt Pan | TikTok for inspiration.

Let’s Make Some!

This is my favorite part of making Bundt Pan Nachos – watch the magic happen! I am sharing my best kitchen tips for building party nachos. Let’s get started and create something amazing together.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan really well. This prevents the nachos from sticking and makes for easy removal.
Start layering! Arrange a layer of tortilla chips in the bottom of the Bundt pan, overlapping them slightly. Don’t worry if your Bundt Pan Nachos don’t look perfect; it will all come together.
Add half of the ground beef, black beans, corn, and salsa. Sprinkle with one cup of shredded cheese. This is where the magic starts happening!
Repeat the layers: Add another layer of tortilla chips, followed by the remaining ground beef, black beans, corn, and salsa. Sprinkle with another cup of cheese. In my kitchen, this Bundt Pan Nachos usually takes about 30 minutes to bake.
Top it off: Add one final layer of tortilla chips and the remaining cheese. Make sure everything is evenly distributed.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. While your Bundt Pan Nachos is doing its thing, get ready for some amazing aromas! Your Bundt Pan Nachos should smell absolutely incredible right now.
Let it cool slightly. This is important to help the nachos set before inverting. About 5-10 minutes is perfect.
Invert onto a large serving platter. Carefully flip the Bundt pan over onto the platter. If any nachos stick, gently loosen them with a spatula.
Garnish with jalapeños, red onion, and cilantro. I like to pile on the toppings for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately with sour cream, guacamole, and queso. This is my favorite part of making Bundt Pan Nachos: dig in and enjoy! These are the perfect layered nachos.

Don’t worry if your Bundt Pan Nachos looks a little messy – that’s part of the fun! The most important thing is that it tastes amazing.
