Pulled Pork Nachos

These nachos were the first thing I made with my new Ninja Foodi Pulled Pork recipe because, well, nachos! If you’re a fellow nachos lover, these pulled pork nachos will definitely hit the spot. There’s a blend of cheddar and monterey jack cheese, fresh red onion and jalapeño, crispy bbq pork, and drizzles of bbq sauce and lite ranch. 

This is perfect for a small get together or your next game day snack. And you could easily scale the recipe up or down to make nachos for one or nachos for the whole crew! 

Pulled Pork Nachos Ingredients

For chips, I used my low calorie tortilla chips recipe which is my go-to nachos base. They’re super easy to make. Simply cut extra thin corn tortillas into triangles, spray with a bit of cooking spray, add a pinch of salt, and bake. 

And boom, crispy tortilla chips with a fraction of the fat. 

Feel free to use other chips. I love Tostitos Baked Scoops, but you could always do something like my Sweet Potato Nachos or loaded fries like I did with my Carolina BBQ Shredded Chicken. 

Okay, back to nachos. The rest of the ingredients are straightforward enough. Use any type of cheese you’d like. Just use freshly shredded cheese for optimal melting! 

I’ll add that the pulled pork I used was cooked and broiled with lots of sauce and flavor. If you’re using another pulled pork that’s on the dry side, you may want to mix it with a bit of bbq sauce before adding to the nachos. You could also use my shredded BBQ chicken thighs instead of pork. 

And if you wanted to use these nachos as a template for other proteins, check out my healthy barbacoa beef, pork tenderloin carnitas, or Mexican shredded chicken. 

Other than that, I think you should be good to go. I added diced red onion and jalapeño slices on top of my nachos, but that’s totes optional. Let me know if you get creative or make modifications we should know about by leaving a comment or sharing a photo in my free-to-join Facebook group.
