These crispy sheet pan pulled pork nachos combine smoky pulled pork, melted cheese, and crunchy tortilla chips for an easy, crowd-pleasing celebration dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded pork shoulder
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • Tortilla chips (sturdy, thick-cut)
  • 1 cup rinsed and drained black beans
  • 2 cups shredded cheese blend (sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • Sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • Thinly sliced green onions
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Sour cream or crema (for drizzling or dipping)
  • Avocado or guacamole (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss 3 cups of cooked, shredded pork shoulder with 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce until well coated.
  3. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  4. Spread a single even layer of tortilla chips across the pan, covering edges but avoiding too much overlap.
  5. Scatter 1 cup of rinsed and drained black beans evenly over the chips.
  6. Distribute the BBQ-coated pulled pork evenly over the beans and chips in smaller chunks.
  7. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend generously over everything.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and chips are crisp at the edges.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with sliced jalapeños, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
  10. Serve with dollops of sour cream or crema and add sliced avocado or guacamole if desired.

Notes

Warm pulled pork slightly before tossing with BBQ sauce if cold to avoid cooling chips. Avoid overcrowding chips to prevent sogginess. Use thick-cut chips for best texture. Watch oven closely to prevent burning. Optional quick broil for 30 seconds at the end adds extra crispness. Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes to restore crispness; avoid microwaving.
