    These loaded nachos are done in just 15 minutes when you use cooked pulled pork. So quick, easy and delicious!!

    Good Football Food

    These nachos are the perfect Sunday snack game snack!

    When it's fall and the weather is getting crisp and breezy, football is the best excuse to cozy up at home with family and enjoy some snacks while you watch some football.

    Eats Like a Meal

    The great thing about these BBQ pulled pork nachos is that they eat like a meal, so you can totally justify just makings these and skipping the full dinner production.

    One-pan = Easy Clean Up

    This is not only easy to throw together when you start with cooked pulled pork it also only requires just one pan. So clean up is a breeze.

    Kid-Friendly

    Kids love the sweet sauce and the melted cheese. Big kids might enjoy the mild spice fro the jalapeños or leave them off. My kids love this as a summertime snack. I love how easy it is to prepare and feeds a group of kids!

    Customizable

    Want more toppings? Feel free to layer them on. Red onion, sour cream, slaw, whatever sounds good to you.

    ★ Ingredients You'll Need ★

    This recipe is so simple! All you need is 5 basic ingredients!

    Feel free to add extra toppings if you'd like but these 5 ingredients are all you need for a quick and tasty appetizer.

    Pulled Pork Nachos - 5 Ingredients
    • Nachos. Yellow corn chips are what I recommend but any tortilla chip works.
    • Pulled pork. Make your own using my crockpot pulled pork recipe or you can but store-bought, ready-made pulled pork at most grocery stores.
    • Jalapeños. You can use fresh or pickled. Seeds will add heat, so remove them if you don't want these too spicy.
    • Cheese. Shredded cheddar cheese works or spice things up with a Mexican blend of cheeses.
    • Sour cream. This goes on after baking and adds a cool, creamy layer which compliments all the other rich flavors so nicely.

    ★ How to Make this Recipe ★

    These sheet pan nachos come together in just a few steps.

    How to Make Pulled Pork Nachos

    Here's what involved: (full recipe listed further down)

    • Cook and shred your pulled pork, add barbecue sauce.
      Use my crockpot pulled pork recipe or save a step and buy pulled pork ready-made.
    • Layer tortilla chips onto a baking sheet.
    • Top with barbecue pulled pork.
    • Layer on shredded cheese and jalapeños.
    • Bake.
    • Drizzle with sour cream then serve hot!

    Easy!

    ★ Tips & FAQs ★

    Keep it simple or add lots of toppings!

    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.

    Extra Topping Ideas

    That said, let's talk about other things you can add to these BBQ pulled pork nachos besides what's included in the basic recipe.

    All you really need is cheese, pulled pork, jalapenos, barbecue sauce and tortilla chips but you can add more toppings if you'd like.

    I like to add extras if I feel like it or if I have things on hand. However sometimes a quick trip to the store to pick up some extras— can be relaxing if I have time. My point in telling you this is that you don't need to stress about ingredients and keep it as simple or as complex as you want.

    Optional topping ideas:

    • 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 really 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.

    Could you use chicken or steak instead of pulled pork?

    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.

    What if jalapenos are too spicy for me?

    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.

    What kind of nachos are best?

    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.

    What's the best way to cook these yummy nachos?

    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.
