When it comes to the big game, there are 3 types of people: those who are here for the football, those who are here for the commercials, and those who are here for the food. If you’re looking to indulge the foodies at your party, look no further than pulled pork nachos. The Butcher Shop’s slow-cooked, smoky pork combines with crispy tortilla chips, gooey cheese, and your favorite toppings for an easy dish that will have everyone reaching for more.
Recipe for Big Game Pulled Pork Nachos
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs TBS pulled pork (any flavor)
- 1 large bag of tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 jalapeño, sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup black beans (optional)
- ½ cup corn (optional)
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 avocado, diced (or guacamole)
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Spread tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet or cast-iron skillet.
3. Sprinkle half the cheese over the chips, followed by the pulled pork, black beans, corn, and jalapenos. Top with remaining cheese.
4. Place in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
5. Remove nachos from the oven and add fresh toppings like diced tomatoes, red onion, avocado, cilantro, and sour cream.
6. Serve hot with BBQ sauce, salsa, guacamole, or hot sauce on the side.
Tips & Variations:
- Use Sturdy Chips: Opt for thicker tortilla chips, as thin chips will get soggy under the toppings.
- Layer Strategically: Cheese acts as a glue, so layer it both under and over the pulled pork for the best texture.
- Customize Your Toppings: Swap out toppings based on your preferences – try pickled onions, jalapeño ranch, or even pineapple for a twist.
