BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos

Start with Pulled Pork

You can use your own, homemade pulled pork (grab my lazy crockpot pulled pork recipe here) or save time and pick up ready-made pulled pork. It's available in most grocery stores.

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

★ 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.

• 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.

★ 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.
