Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups pulled pork
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 1 cup jalapeno cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapenos
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 avocado, diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure your pulled pork is warm and slightly shredded.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Spread tortilla chips in an even, single layer across the baking sheet, creating a solid base for the nachos.
- Evenly distribute the warm pulled pork over the tortilla chips, ensuring good coverage.
- Sprinkle the shredded jalapeno cheddar cheese generously over the pulled pork, covering most of the chips.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow cheese to set slightly.
- Top the nachos with diced avocado, sliced fresh jalapenos, and chopped cilantro.
- Drizzle sour cream over the nachos in a zigzag pattern for additional creaminess.
- Serve immediately while hot and cheese is still melted, using a large serving spoon or spatula.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, prepare your pulled pork in advance. It can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated when you're ready to assemble your nachos.
- Layer Smartly: For the best nacho experience, ensure an even distribution of pulled pork and cheese across the chips. This will help every bite be flavorful and cheesy.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add black olives, diced tomatoes, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Keep an Eye on the Oven: Ovens can vary in temperature, so keep a close watch on your nachos as they bake. You want the cheese melted and bubbly, but not burnt!
- Serve Immediately: Nachos are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve them right away to ensure the chips stay crispy and the cheese remains gooey.
- Pair with Drinks: Consider serving these nachos with a refreshing drink, like a fruity smoothie or a spicy michelada, to complement the flavors!
