Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pulled pork (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 bag (13 oz) tortilla chips
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced or made into guacamole

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Spread half of the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large sheet pan.
  3. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the chips.
  4. Distribute half of the pulled pork evenly over the cheese layer.
  5. Drizzle half of the BBQ sauce over the pork.
  6. Repeat layers with remaining chips, cheese, pulled pork, and BBQ sauce.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately top with pickled jalapeños, green onions, tomatoes, and red onion.
  9. Add dollops of sour cream and avocado slices.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add liquid toppings like sour cream and guacamole after baking to prevent soggy chips.
  • Layer ingredients twice for even distribution so every chip gets toppings.
  • Use leftover pulled pork from a slow cooker or pick up pre-made from your local BBQ restaurant.
  • For extra crunch, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Warm the pulled pork before assembling if it’s cold from the refrigerator.
