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.
