Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag (13-16 oz) restaurant-style tortilla chips
  • 3 cups cooked pulled pork
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (Roma tomatoes, seeds removed)
  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (full-fat)
  • 1/2 cup guacamole
  • Hot sauce to taste (e.g., Cholula or Valentina)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  2. Warm the pulled pork: If cold, microwave in 30-second bursts or reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or barbecue sauce until hot.
  3. Layer the first round of chips: Spread half the tortilla chips in an even layer on the baking sheet, giving each chip some space.
  4. Add the first layer of pork and cheese: Sprinkle half the pulled pork evenly over the chips, then scatter half the cheddar and half the Monterey Jack on top.
  5. Repeat the layers: Add the remaining chips, then the rest of the pulled pork, and finish with the remaining cheese.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly but the chips are still crunchy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Add the hot toppings: While the nachos are still warm, scatter the black beans, diced tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, and black olives over the top.
  8. Finish with cold toppings: Dollop the sour cream and guacamole in small spoonfuls across the top. Sprinkle the diced red onion and fresh cilantro over everything. Drizzle with hot sauce to taste.
  9. Serve immediately. Place the baking sheet in the middle of the table and let everyone dig in.

Notes

For best results, shred your own cheese from a block to avoid anti-caking agents. Layer chips and cheese in two rounds to ensure every chip is covered. Add fresh toppings after baking to prevent sogginess. Serve immediately for maximum crunch.
