Ingredients for Pulled Pork Nachos

PORK: Use a ready-made pulled pork or you can DIY and use leftover pulled pork from pulled pork sandwiches. Swap the pork shoulder for chicken and use slow cooker bbq chicken!

SAUCE: Choose any BBQ sauce for pulled pork nachos; sweet, spicy, smoky – anything goes! This homemade BBQ sauce recipe lets you make it as mild or zesty as you like!

CHIPS: Look for sturdy tortilla chips, not the kind you get at Mexican restaurants meant for salsa. Try your hand at making your own tortilla chips using flour or corn tortillas.

CHEESE: Use pre-shredded cheese for these nachos. Cheddar cheese, pepper jack, or a Mexican blend are our favorite choices.

TOPPINGS & VARIATIONS: Variations for nacho toppings are endless! On pulled pork nachos, we love red onions, jalapeños, and fresh cilantro with a squeeze of lime juice.

  • Before cooking: Add black beans, black olives, and fresh jalapeno.
  • For Serving: Top the nachos with diced tomatoes, chopped avocado, sliced green onion, sour cream, and a big scoop of pico de Gallo or guacamole.

  4. Remove from the basket and add your favorite toppings!

Tips

  • Assemble nachos by overlapping the chips to avoid gaps! This keeps the melted cheese on the pulled pork and the chips underneath.
  • Pulled pork nachos are best served fresh from the oven or air fryer!
  • Keep leftover pulled pork nachos separate from the chips in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They won’t be crispy when reheated but they do still taste good.
  • Reheat by adding fresh chips and placing them under the broiler or in the air fryer.
