Ingredients

  • 1 pound tortilla chips
  • 2 cups pulled pork
  • 1½ cups shredded Chihuahua cheese or Mexican blend
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • ½ cup sliced pickled jalapeños
  • 15 ounces nacho cheese sauce
  • 2-3 tablespoons barbecue sauce or more to taste
  • fresh cilantro chopped (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  • Spread the tortilla chips evenly over the baking sheet. Sprinkle the shredded Chihuahua cheese evenly over the chips.
  • Spoon the pulled pork evenly over the cheesy chips, spreading it out so every bite gets some pork.
  • Pour the nacho cheese sauce into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue heating in 20–30 second intervals, stirring each time, until it’s smooth and pourable.
  • Drizzle the warm nacho cheese sauce evenly over the nachos. Scatter the diced onions and sliced jalapeños evenly over the top. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the shredded cheese is melted.
  • Remove the nachos from the oven carefully. Drizzle with barbecue sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro (if you are using it). Let cool for about 1 minute before serving, the cheese will be very hot!

Notes

  • Line the baking tray with foil for easy cleanup!
  • Use freshly grated cheese for the smoothest melt. Pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt quite as well.
  • Warm the pork before layering it so it heats evenly.
  • For a deeper flavor, toss the pork in some BBQ seasoning.
  • Broiling the nachos for just 1 minute will turn the cheese a beautiful golden color and enhance its appearance.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 5 to 8 minutes or in the air fryer.
