Sometimes the best idea for something quick and easy evolves from leftovers! I had some leftover pulled pork from a party last weekend – it freezes well, so had put it in the freezer for the last several days. Tonight, I was thinking about what to use it for – pulled pork is so versatile – it can be made into a pizza, tacos, or of course pulled pork sandwiches! But tonight, I think it would be amazing turned into barbeque pulled pork nachos! The weather here in the Chicago area FINALLY rose to a balmy 70 degrees today! So we wanted to sit outside with a quick, savory snack, and some cocktails! This idea will satisfy that craving for sure!
This dish took me about 20 min. from start to finish! I thawed, then reheated the pulled pork under the broiler for a few minutes. Love those crispy edges! While that was in the oven, I spread a layer of corn tortilla chips on a parchment lined cookie sheet. I topped the chips with some shredded colby jack cheese.
I removed the pork from the oven, and gave it a rough chop. Then I placed the chopped meat over the cheese and chips. I put the sheet pan in a 350 degree oven for about 10 – 15 min, until the cheese was melted, then removed it from the oven.
I couldn’t help myself, had to have this piece!
I topped the meat with BBQ sauce and sour cream, and garnished with chopped cilantro. You can add green onions, tomatoes, or jalapeno peppers if you like.
Then I placed the pile of nachos onto a serving plate using a spatula. Pile it as high as you want!
I served with guacamole – Delicious! Don’t forget an ice cold beer or margarita!!
