Top tip

Chili Mayo is our secret ingredient that adds a delicious burst of flavor to Pulled Pork Nachos. Mix ¼ cup chili sauce and ¼ cup mayo in a small bowl. Combine with corn, or use as topping to spice up your nachos!

Serving suggestions

  • Top Them: customize nachos to your taste by adding jalapeño pepper, diced red peppers, or red onions
  • Add a Dollop: finish nachos with a large dollop of sour cream, guacamole, refried beans.
  • Dip Them: dip them in Pineapple Salsa, Pico de Gallo, or Beer Cheese.
  • Nacho Party: serve with a pitcher of Iceberg Margaritas, Pink Señoritas, or Pink Pomegranate Margaritas.

FAQ

What is the best way to layer nachos?

Layer tortilla chips in a single row. It's okay if they overlap, but do not stack them. Then add the cheese sauce, pulled pork, and more toppings.

What kind of chips are best for nachos?

Thick, restaurant style corn tortilla chips are best for this recipe, as they hold all the toppings without breaking. We like triangular shape tortilla chips to keep the toppings in place.

What else can I make with pulled pork?

Try our Pulled Pork Sandwiches or Pulled Pork Tacos

How do you make nachos not soggy?

Use thick corn tortilla chips. Layer cheese, then pork, then more dry toppings. Serve salsa on the side, as it is watery and can make chips soggy.

What cheese is best for nachos?

We like nacho cheese sauce or queso as opposed to shredded cheese. Or use "melty cheese" like Queso Fresco, cheddar cheese, or Velveeta cheese.
