How do you prevent the nachos from becoming soggy in the bundt pan?

The secret to avoiding soggy chips is to use sturdy, restaurant-style tortilla chips and to layer the wet ingredients, like beans and tomatoes, in the center rather than directly against the chips. Baking at a high temperature also helps crisp them up quickly.

What is the best way to flip the bundt pan nachos onto a serving plate?

First, let the pan sit for 2-3 minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly. Place a large round platter upside down over the top of the bundt pan, then using oven mitts, firmly grasp both and flip in one quick, confident motion. Tap the top of the pan gently before lifting it off.

Can I make these nachos vegetarian?

Absolutely! Simply omit the ground beef or chicken and double the amount of black beans or add seasoned taco-style cauliflower rice or crumbled tofu for a high-protein plant-based alternative.

What kind of cheese melts best for bundt pan nachos?

A blend of Monterey Jack and sharp Cheddar is ideal because Monterey Jack provides the perfect stretch and melt, while Cheddar adds the classic sharp flavor that everyone loves in a nacho dish.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard bundt pan thoroughly with cooking spray.
Step 2: In a skillet, brown the ground beef (or chicken), drain excess fat, and mix in taco seasoning.
Step 3: Place a layer of tortilla chips in the bottom of the pan, followed by a sprinkle of cheese, meat, beans, corn, onions, and tomatoes.
Step 4: Continue layering the chips and toppings until the bundt pan is filled to the top, ending with a heavy layer of cheese.
Step 5: Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling.
Step 6: Let the pan cool for 3 minutes, then place a large plate over the top and carefully invert to release the nachos.
Step 7: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with bowls of sour cream and salsa in the center.

Notes

Always use thick, restaurant-style chips to prevent the structure from collapsing. If the nachos stick to the pan, run a thin knife around the edges before flipping.
