BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos


Get ready to dig into a plate of BBQ heaven with this simple, customizable recipe.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these irresistible nachos:

For the Pulled Pork:

  • 2 cups of cooked pulled pork (homemade, store-bought, or use leftovers!)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce of your choice (sweet, tangy, smoky—whatever you love)

For the Nachos:

  • 1 large bag of tortilla chips (about 11–12 ounces)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend work great)
  • ½ cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (canned, fresh, or frozen)
  • 1–2 avocados, diced or made into guacamole
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving (optional)

Optional Add-Ons: Crumbled queso fresco, diced tomatoes, hot sauce drizzle, or even a fried egg for a breakfast nacho twist!

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pulled Pork

  1. If your pulled pork is cold, warm it up in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the BBQ sauce and mix until the pork is evenly coated and heated through. Set it aside.

Step 2: Assemble the Nachos

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spread a generous layer of tortilla chips on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.
  3. Sprinkle half the shredded cheese evenly over the chips.
  4. Spread half the pulled pork, black beans, and corn over the cheese layer.
  5. Add another layer of chips, followed by the remaining cheese, pulled pork, beans, and corn. (This layering ensures every bite is packed with flavor!)

Step 3: Bake the Nachos

  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning the chips.

Step 4: Add Fresh Toppings

  1. Once out of the oven, top the hot nachos with fresh toppings like diced avocado (or guacamole), red onions, jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve your nachos straight from the baking sheet or transfer to a large platter for presentation. Add lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
  2. Dig in and enjoy while the cheese is still warm and gooey!

Customization and Serving Tips

  • Make It Spicy: Add extra heat with sliced fresh chilis, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a dusting of chili powder or cayenne.
  • Go Vegetarian: Skip the pulled pork and use jackfruit or sautéed mushrooms for a meatless twist. You can even double up on the beans for extra protein.
  • Hosting a Party? Set up a nacho bar! Bake the chips with just cheese, and set out the toppings for guests to customize their plates.
  • Leftover Magic: Repurpose your nachos the next day by layering everything into tortillas and grilling them for cheesy pulled pork quesadillas.

Pro Tip

Don’t skimp on layering! By building your nachos in layers, you ensure every chip gets its fair share of melty cheese and savory toppings.

BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos are the ultimate mix of comfort food and party fare. They’re messy, indulgent, and downright delicious. Whether you devour them on your own or share with a crowd, one thing is certain—these nachos won’t last long. Enjoy!
