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