I’m such a big fan of Super Bowl food, so these Puff Pastry Nachos are going to fit nicely into my Super Bowl menu this year.
Puff Pastry Nachos
If I could eat nachos a few times a week for a main meal, I’d be totally okay with that. Anything smothered with melted cheese, beans, olives, tomatoes, jalapeños, guacamole and sour cream…. YES, PLEASE. So I know that’s not super realistic, but I’m a major nachos fan, for sure. I decided that Puff Pastry might make a great vehicle for nachos. Turns out I was right.
🛒Ingredients needed:
- puff pastry
- refried beans
- tomatoes
- olives
- shredded cheddar cheese
- avocado
- jalapeño
- sour cream
✏️How to make Puff Pastry Nachos:
*The complete, printable recipe with all ingredients and instructions is at the end of this post.
-
Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
-
Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut 1 inch squares from the Puff Pastry. You should be able to get 36 squares from one sheet. Place the squares on the baking sheet, leaving about 1-inch space between each square.
-
Place a small dab of beans on each pastry square. Top with a tomato and an olive. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove baking sheet from the oven and top each with a sprinkle of the shredded cheese. Return the baking sheet to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, just until cheese is melted and pastry is lightly browned.
-
For serving, top each with avocado and/or jalapeño and a small dollop of sour cream.
➡️Recipe Tips:
- Make- ahead tip: Prepare nachos through topping with beans, tomato and olive. Wrap the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 3 hours before baking. To bake, remove from the refrigerator, discard plastic wrap, and bake & finish as directed.
- Jalapeños are a fairly mild chili, but it you’re looking for something with even less heat try poblanos instead.
- If you like a little tang, try a couple drops of fresh lime on top of the finished nachos.
✔️What to serve with Puff Pastry Nachos:
- These are such a great party appetizer, so you’re going to need a few more. I like to serve Buffalo Chicken Dip alongside this.
- For an appetizer that brings freshness to the table try these Easy Greek Appetizer Skewers.
- An array of sparkling waters, beers and wine will round out your party refreshments.
★How to Store:
These will always be best when they’re hot and fresh, but you can save leftovers in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. When reheating, spoon off the sour cream and gently reheat in the microwave. If you have the time, they can also be reheated in the oven at 350℉ for about 10 minutes.
❤️Why I love this recipe:
- Going back to where I began, I love nachos! These are a fun twist on the classic, plus they’re delicious!
- These nachos aways get rave reviews from guests and family alike and I certainly love that.
- I love having fun Super Bowl food and these you can prepare ahead by wrapping the baking sheet in plastic wrap and refrigerating it. I like getting a jump on things!

Great recipe and tips. I am surely gonna thy this soon:)
A great twist on nachos! These pastry nachos look delish!
Lori,
These look delicious. I love Super Bowl food too – not so much a fan of the game itself.

I would use puff pastry to make individual pizzas. I would lay out toppings and let people build their own then pop them in the oven and there you have it!
Your nachos look so good! I think I would make puff pastry bites with caramelized onions, bacon, a mild white cheese and drizzled with a smidge of honey!
come on!! These just look too delicious! I love the idea of using puff pastry. These are perfect for the Super Bowl!!
These are perfect for getting in a few nacho-licious bites…but not feeling like I HAVE to eat the whole pan!
These look so perfect and I happen to have everything I need for them! Looks like this will be a snack tonight. Pinned!
I love nachos!! I would do a sweet version with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, lots of sprinkles and a cherry. Sort of like an ice cream sunday minus the ice cream!
