These smoked pulled pork nachos combine tender, juicy pork with crispy chips and melty cheese for an easy, crowd-pleasing Fourth of July snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups smoked pork shoulder, shredded (leftover or freshly smoked)
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (e.g., Sweet Baby Ray’s)
  • 10–12 ounces large sturdy tortilla chips (thick-cut)
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1–2 jalapeños, sliced thin (adjust to taste)
  • 3–4 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 medium avocado, diced or sliced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded smoked pork shoulder with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce. Stir well to coat. Add an extra tablespoon of sauce if pork is dry.
  3. Whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl to make lime crema. Set aside.
  4. Spread about half the tortilla chips (5-6 ounces) evenly on a large baking sheet or oven-safe skillet.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the chips.
  6. Scatter half of the BBQ-coated pulled pork evenly over the cheese layer.
  7. Add another layer of chips, then the remaining cheese and pulled pork.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning chips.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro over the nachos.
  10. Add diced avocado on top, then drizzle or dollop the lime crema across the nachos. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use thick, sturdy tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Add fresh toppings after baking to keep them vibrant. If pork is dry, add extra BBQ sauce or a splash of apple juice. Watch baking time closely to avoid burning chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.
