Pulled pork is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. It’s perfect for family get-togethers and having buddies over to watch the game. Maybe you got a little overzealous in how much you needed and you need to figure out what to do with it before it goes bad. Leftover Pulled Pork Nachos to the rescue!
Jump to RecipeI consider myself something of a nacho connoisseur. If I go out to eat and nachos are on the menu, there’s at least an 80% chance I will give them a shot. However, it wasn’t until some old roommates made homemade nachos for dinner that I ever considered making them at home. These leftover pulled pork nachos are insanely easy to make and the smokiness of the pulled pork makes them absolutely delicious!
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grab an 11×17 sheet pan with raised edges. Cover the pan with round tortilla chips and then cover with shredded cheddar cheese.
Drop bits of the shredded pork all over the chips and cheese mixture. (We usually do two layers of chips/cheese/pork, because we have seven mouths to feed.)
Then add some black beans and bean dip (one cup sour cream, one can refried beans, cayenne pepper to taste). Repeat the chips/pulled pork/cheese/black beans/bean dip layer.
Place the pan in the oven for 7 minutes. Then turn the oven off and leave the pan under the broiler for a minute or two until the cheese has browned. Take the pan out and add green onions, tomatoes, and guacamole.
That’s it. Super simple, and obviously can be customized to whatever your preferences are for toppings, but don’t skimp on the pulled pork. That smoky meat balances the savoy cheese. It’s just perfection. No one will ever complain about having to eat up these leftovers!
