How to quickly prepare BBQ pulled pork nachos
The main thing to keep in mind with this recipe is to have already cooked pulled pork. You can buy some at the store or prepare ahead of time. This is the recipe I always use:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Heat your pulled pork on a skillet over medium heat
- If your pulled pork is not already seasoned with BBQ sauce, toss in the BBQ sauce while it is warming
- Place one layer of tortilla chips on the baking sheet (Try not to overlap any of the chips to prevent sogginess or some of the chips not getting cheese on them)
- Top the chips evenly with the pulled pork and cheese
- Bake for 8-12 minutes until cheese is fully melted
- Add additional toppings of your choice – avocado, queso, salsa, black olives, red onion, sour cream, jalapenos
Pulled Pork Meals
Crock pot pulled pork is one of my favorite meats to prepare at the beginning of the week. The leftovers can be used for a variety of meals throughout the week. Check out some of these recipes you may enjoy!
FAQ & Substituions
Pulled Pork – Sub for shredded chicken
Instead of baking, can I place it under the broil function? Yes, but beware this melts the cheese fast! Check the nachos every 30 seconds until the cheese is melted
How to store leftovers? This meal does not store and reheat well. The tortilla chips become soggy if you try and reheat. I would try to just bake enough for what you will eat that day.
Materials Needed
- Standard Baking Sheet (9 x 13 inches)
