Pulled Pork Nachos
Nachos are great for party food, midnight munchies and tailgating. They are also FANTASTIC for an easy weeknight meal! For some reason I always feel naughty when I eat them. Like I’m being a kid and getting away with something. Anyone else feel like that? I mean what’s not to love about layers of crunchy tortilla chips, tender pulled pork, barbecue sauce, cheese, red onion and pineapple? You’d feel naughty eating them too. In a totally good way!
Especially when you have some leftover Smoked Pork Butt! You can use this tasty pork so many ways but you know the kids love nachos so why not for dinner? I’ve also showed you how to make Pulled Pork Taquitos, Pulled Pork Enchiladas and BBQ Pulled Pork Pizza on the Grill!
I love and adore smoking a pork butt because it leaves me with so many leftovers and it’s built in meals for the rest of the week. These Pulled Pork Nachos are another great way to use up that leftover pulled pork!
Here’s how I justify this tasty meal – first you have the chips (carbs) meat and cheese (protein) with all of the veggies and pineapple (fruit) piled on top? Yes this is perfect for dinner. Serve it with a side of coleslaw and you have a meal!!! ?
Let’s start with what you need –
Ingredients for Pulled Pork Nachos
- tortilla Chips
- shredded pulled pork
- red onion
- Monterrey jack cheese
- mozzarella cheese
- bacon bits
- pineapple tidbits
- BBQ Sauce
Optional Toppings for Pork Nachos
- avocado or guacamole
- diced tomatoes
- sliced jalapeños

Really the skies the limit right? The barbecue sauce and pineapple tidbits in my recipe gives it a fun twist with just a hint of sweetness!
What are the BEST tortilla chips for Nachos?
- We all have our favorite brand of chips right? Here’s what to look for when you’re serving up great nachos.
- Avoid flavored chips because you don’t want the flavor of the chips to overpower the ingredients.
- Use crisp, sturdy chips that have great crunch! Flimsy chips will get soggy quickly and won’t hold up to heavy toppings (like pulled pork, pineapple and sauce).
- Want to be different? Take a break from the everyday chips and try thinly sliced grilled potatoes or mini bell peppers for something fun and different!
