These savory BBQ pulled pork nachos are a quick and easy crowd-pleasing snack featuring smoky pulled pork, melty cheese, and crispy tortilla chips, perfect for casual get-togethers or game day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces (280 grams) sturdy, thick-cut tortilla chips
  • 3 cups (about 450 grams) cooked, shredded pork shoulder or pork butt
  • 1 cup (240 ml) BBQ sauce (preferably smoky and slightly sweet)
  • 2 cups (200 grams) shredded sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend
  • ½ cup finely diced red onion
  • 1–2 fresh jalapeños, sliced thin (optional)
  • 1 cup (about 165 grams) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • A handful of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream or crema
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Optional extras: diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, pickled red onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, combine the shredded pork and BBQ sauce. Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes until heated through and juicy.
  3. While the pork warms, dice the red onion, slice jalapeños, chop cilantro, and drain the black beans.
  4. On a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter, spread half the tortilla chips evenly.
  5. Spoon half the BBQ pulled pork over the chips.
  6. Sprinkle half the black beans, diced onions, and jalapeños over the pork.
  7. Add a generous handful of the cheese blend on top.
  8. Repeat layering with the remaining chips, pork, beans, onions, jalapeños, and finish with the remaining cheese.
  9. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  10. Remove from the oven and dollop sour cream or crema in small spoonfuls across the top.
  11. Sprinkle chopped cilantro and squeeze fresh lime juice over everything before serving.

Notes

Use sturdy, thick-cut tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Warm the pulled pork with BBQ sauce before layering to keep chips crisp. For extra crispiness, broil the nachos for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch carefully to avoid burning. Avoid overloading chips with too much pork or cheese in one spot to maintain texture balance. For gluten-free or dairy-free options, verify ingredient labels and substitute cheese and sour cream with plant-based alternatives.
