Notes
For even more bbq flavor with the pulled pork: Mix the shredded bbq-dry-rubbed pork with about ¼ cup of bbq sauce. You can use my homemade barbecue sauce or your own favorite bottle. This makes the pork extra tasty and adds a lot of flavor to the nachos overall. Just take care to not add too much bbq sauce, as excessive moisture will make the tortilla chips soggy.
Toppings to add before or after the nachos are baked:
- Jalapenos - Use sliced or diced fresh jalapenos, or pickled jalapenos
- Tomatoes - Halved or quartered grape tomatoes, or chopped Roma tomatoes (First cut the Romas in half, then remove the watery insides before chopping them – otherwise the liquid can make the tortilla chips soggy.)
- Onions - Chopped green onion, yellow onion, or red onion
- Sweet bell peppers - Any color you like, chopped or sliced
- Black beans - Rinse and drain them well
- BBQ sauce - To amplify the BBQ flavor of the shredded pork, it's fun to drizzle some barbecue sauce over the nachos either before or after it's baked!
- Pickled onions - SO GOOD!
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Fresh avocado slices or chunks, or guacamole
- Queso blanco
- Pico de gallo
- Salsa
- Roasted chili corn salsa
- Cilantro - I usually sprinkle some over the top, right before serving.
- Lime wedges - For individuals to squeeze over their own serving, right before eating.
