BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos (5 Ingredients)

I try to always provide recipes that a require minimal amount of ingredients so that you can still pull together a dish without having to make an extra trip to the store.
So, what you're getting with this recipe is the base-line to make this delicious dish. You can, however, totally add to these nachos and load them up till your heart's content.

The basics—cheese, pulled pork, jalapeños, BBQ sauce, and chips—are all you really need. But feel free to add more if you’re in the mood or have extras on hand. Even a quick store run can be a nice little break. Bottom line: don’t stress—keep it simple or go all out!
Here are ideas for extra toppings:
corn, avocado, fresh cilantro, squeeze of lime, additional cheeses, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, peppers, onion (red or white, cooked or not), queso.
As you can see, you could (or could not) go all out here! The fun thing about that is you could make them a little different each time you make them and have a different flavor each time.

Yep! You sure could. Try rotisserie chicken, or sear some chunks of steak to use instead of the pulled pork.
You could even use shrimp or white fish instead if that's up your alley.
Get creative within these guidelines and cater these nachos to you and your family/friend's favorite foods.

You can leave them off, choose a different type of pepper to use or try pickled jalapenos which are slightly less spicy than raw ones or use bell peppers. Actually since these jalapeños are baked, they come out pretty mild.

The scooped or cupped nachos have become really popular now because they are great for dipping. However, this recipe for sheet pan nachos really works better with the more traditional flat tortilla chips. They just lay nicely and the toppings get distributed a little easier, in my opinion.

A baking sheet, large casserole dish or an oven-safe platter would all work. It depends how fancy you want to be when serving these.
What do you want to put down on the table?
Cooking and serving from the same dish, you just have to be careful since the dish will be hot coming right out of the oven. If that's an issue, you can transfer from baking sheet to a large, flat platter.

It takes 10 minutes to make your own sauce and homemade can be so much tastier than bottled sauces. Plus, you can tweak the ingredients to your personal liking.

You can also opt for ready-made pulled pork if you're short on time. You can find heat-and-eat pulled pork at most grocery stores.
