Ingredients Needed for Barbecue Pulled Pork Nachos:
Thick tortilla chips like Don Julio Original Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips
Shredded barbecue pulled pork
Black beans, drained, rinsed and paper towel dried
Red onion, diced
Cheddar cheese, grated
Jalapenos, pickled nacho jalapeño peppers
Tomatoes, diced
Cilantro leaves, torn
Sour cream
Barbecue sauce
Salsa
Instructions for Barbecue Pulled Pork Nachos:
You will need 2 cups of barbecue pulled pork. You can cook a small pork loin (1 1/4 pounds) in a slow cooker for 6-7 hours on low-until desired tenderness, buy pre-made barbecue pork or do what I like to do and cook one roast for two meals.
Cook’s Note:
I like to cook a three pound pork loin in a Crockpot for eight hours on low. When pork loin has cooked through, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it. Coat it with three cups of Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce. Use two cups of the pulled pork for this recipe and three cups for Barbecue Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese. Just remove two cups and place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to use for another recipe within a couple days or you can freeze it for later use. I like cooking a bigger pork loin rather than one that is under three pounds.
Just before the pork is ready:
About 20-30 minutes before pork loin is finished cooking, prepare your nacho ingredients-dice the tomatoes and onion, grate the cheese, tear the leaves off of the cilantro stems, drain the sliced pickled jalapeños and rinse the black beans. Then, place jalapeños and black beans on paper towel to soak up any leftover water/juices on the jalapeños and beans.
Prepare the pork-shred and coat in barbecue sauce.
Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
Lay a little more than half of the tortilla chips on top of the parchment paper in a single layer-about 5 ounces. I suggest using Don Julio Original Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips because they are thick. This will help the chips not get soggy as quickly and you need a thick chip to hold all of the yummy ingredients in this recipe.
Top the tortilla chips with 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
Then, top the cheese with half of the pulled pork-just drop pieces of the pork onto the chips (try to distribute evenly).
Top the pork with half of the black beans and the half of the red onion.
For Layer 2: lay remaining tortilla chips on top of the first layer and top those with 1/2 cup of cheese.
Distribute the remaining pulled pork on top of the second layer of chips and cheese.
Sprinkle the remaining black beans and red onion on top.
Then, distribute the remaining cheese (one cup), evenly on the very top.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from oven and top with jalapeños, tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, barbecue sauce, and salsa-as desired.
Serve these yummy nachos immediately and enjoy!
