  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 3-4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of pulled pork
  • 1 bag Yellow corn Tortilla chips
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese 
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce 
  • Pico de gallo
  • 1 can of black beans 
  • 1 jalapeño 
  • Sour cream or Mexican crema 
  • 1 bunch of Cilantro 
  • 4 oz Pickled red onions

Super Melty cheese

  • 8 oz Velveta 
  • 4 oz smoked gouda
  • 4oz cheddar 
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Trim the excess fat off of the pork butt then season it with your favorite BBQ rub.
  2. Smoke the pulled pork at 250°F and spritz with a 50/50 blend of apple juice and apple cider vinegar. 
  3. Wrap the pork once the bark is set and the internal temp is between 165°-175°F. Place it back on the smoker for 2-3 more hours. Remove once the pork reaches 205°F then place in a cooler and let it rest for 2-3 hours. 
  4. Make the super melty cheese in a pot. Add in 3 tbsp of butter, then whisk in 2 tbsp of flour to make a roux. 
  5. Slowly whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream, then add cubed velveeta, smoked gouda, cheddar cheese and 1 tbsp of hot sauce. Cook over medium low heat until creamy. 
  6. Assemble the nachos on a sheet pan. Start with a layer of tortilla chips then add black beans, cheddar cheese, pulled pork, BBQ sauce and the super melty cheese. 
  7. Place the pan in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes until all of the cheese is melted. 
  8. Add cilantro, fresh jalapenos and pico to the tray of nachos. Take a spatula and scoop the nachos into an empty can. Be sure to press down on the nachos every so often to have them stick together. 
  9. Top them with pickled red onions, cilantro, Mexican cream or sour cream and your favorite hot sauce.
  10. Carefully left up the can and admire the tower of perfectly coated nachos. Serve with a cold beverage and enjoy!
