The Best Pulled Pork Nachos

Simple pulled pork nachos where pork is the star. These nachos are simply made with delicious ready pulled pork, jalapenos, red onion and cheese. Simple dish but it’s delightful for your taste buds.

PULLED PORK NACHOS

What to do with leftover pulled pork? Well, here is the answer right here.

I had some delicious slow cooker pork left from a big batch that I made during the weekend. Pulled pork sandwiches just seems like a tired ‘ole thing to make with leftover pulled meats. I was going for something different and I wanted to dress up the flavor of pork a bit too. The result was amazing. There is a delicious touch of sweet and spicy in this pork and it makes the whole flavor of nachos unbelievably tasty.

There are very simple ingredients here because, as I mentioned above, pork here is the star. I didn’t want to take away from the delicious pork flavor by piling on a bunch of topping on top of these nachos. There is just onion and jalapeno to compliment the pork, and some sweet and spicy flavor kicks.

Now, let’s talk pork. I’m sure you noticed that there are a few ingredients to add to pork, so don’t use pork that’s already mixed with sauce. You can use leftover pork that you made or you can buy cooked pulled pork (sauce-less). There are sweet and spicy ingredients added to slow cooked, pulled pork, so use pork that doesn’t already have a bunch of flavors added OR if it has complimentary flavors.
