How To Prepare Pulled Pork For Nachos

To make this easy recipe you will need about 2 cups of cooked pulled pork. Some grocery stores sell pulled pork that is already cooked and just needs to be warmed up or you can easily make it at home. We have perfected the most amazing pulled pork recipes by cooking a pork shoulder or pork butt in a pressure cooker, smoker, or slow cooker. And the best part about making it at home is that you will have plenty of leftover pulled pork to use in another meal that week or easily freeze it and use it another time!

How To Make Pulled Pork Nachos

The first steps in making these sheet pan nachos are to put a layer of crispy chips on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Best Way To Serve Pulled Pork Nachos

Typically, we like to create a nacho bar with all our favorite toppings. Plus, a variety of sides, like tomato salsa, salsa verde, sour cream, and fresh guacamole! And if you are serving these up on Sunday for game day or for Super Bowl Sunday, add a few more appetizer recipes to the mix. A few of our favorites are air fryer chicken wings, french onion dip, or bbq meatballs.
