Ingredients
- 2 cups pulled pork
- 1 bag potato chips
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup jalapeños
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
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 potato chips in a single, even layer across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they create a solid base for the nachos.
- Evenly distribute the pulled pork over the potato chips, making sure each chip gets a good amount of meat coverage.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the pulled pork, covering the chips and meat thoroughly.
- Add sliced jalapeños across the nachos for a spicy kick, distributing them evenly for consistent heat.
- 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 from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow cheese to set slightly.
- Garnish with chopped green onions for fresh flavor and color.
- Dollop sour cream in strategic spots or serve on the side for dipping.
- Serve immediately while chips are still crisp and cheese is warm.
Tips
- Choose thick, sturdy potato chips to prevent soggy nachos - kettle-style chips work best for maintaining crispiness.
- For extra flavor, warm the pulled pork before adding it to the chips to enhance its moisture and taste.
- Use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-packaged for better melting and richer flavor.
- If you prefer less heat, remove the jalapeño seeds before slicing.
- Watch the nachos closely while baking to prevent burning - ovens can vary in temperature.
- For a more gourmet touch, try using different cheese blends like pepper jack or a mix of cheddar and monterey jack.
- Serve immediately after removing from the oven to enjoy maximum crispiness and melted cheese.
- Have extra toppings on hand like salsa, guacamole, or hot sauce for customization.
