How to Make Pulled Pork Nachos
For family-style nachos, add the tortilla chips to a baking sheet.
Next, crisp up the pork in a frying pan for a few minutes per side.
Then, sprinkle the pork and cheese over the chips and heat them in the oven on broil for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Finally, add the toppings to your nachos and serve immediately.
Top Tip
Nachos wait for no one! As soon as they’re out of the oven, get them to the table while the cheese is still gooey, and chips are crispy. Trust me, they won’t last long!
FAQ
Absolutely! If you’re short on time, grab some pre-made pulled pork from your favorite grocery store or BBQ joint. Just warm it up, season to your liking (if needed), and you’re good to go. It’s a shortcut, not a cop-out!
Anything you love! Classic choices like jalapeños, tomatoes, red onion, guac, and sour cream are always a hit. Want to get creative? Try a drizzle of BBQ sauce, pineapple chunks, or even pickled onions for a flavor boost.
