Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups pulled pork
- 1 bag tortilla chips
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 jalapeño, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Spread the tortilla chips in an even layer across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they cover the entire surface without too much overlap.
- Evenly distribute the pulled pork over the tortilla chips, making sure each chip gets a good amount of meat.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the pulled pork, covering the chips thoroughly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and slightly bubbly.
- Remove the nachos from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning.
- Drizzle salsa over the nachos, dollop sour cream in small portions across the surface.
- Garnish with fresh sliced jalapeños for an extra kick of heat and flavor.
- Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and the chips are crispy.
Tips
- Choose the Right Pulled Pork: For the best flavor, use well-seasoned pulled pork. You can make your own or use store-bought for convenience. If you're using leftovers, ensure they're heated through before assembling your nachos.
- Layer Smartly: To prevent soggy chips, layer your ingredients thoughtfully. Start with a base of chips, then a generous layer of pulled pork, followed by cheese. This helps keep the chips crispy.
- Don’t Skip the Jalapeños: Fresh sliced jalapeños not only add a beautiful pop of color but also a delightful kick. Adjust the amount according to your spice preference.
- Watch the Oven: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your nachos while they bake. You want the cheese to be melted and slightly bubbly, but not burnt.
- Serve Immediately: Nachos are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Prepare your toppings in advance so you can serve them right away for that perfect cheesy, crispy experience!
