Sheet-Pan Barbeque Pulled Pork Nachos. Leftover pulled pork, barbeque sauce, and favorite toppings on a bed of tortilla chips. Bake until cheese melts.
Nachos are an outlet for creativity and a vehicle for leftovers. The technique is easy: cover a sheet pan with tortilla chips, add a protein of your choice, throw on the toppings of your choice, think a little more and come up with more toppings, bake until everything is hot and the cheese melts. My inspiration for this dish wasa lot of leftover pulled pork and the fact that everybody was about sandwiched out. Sheet-Pan Barbeque Pulled Pork Nachos to the rescue!
Leftover coleslaw would find its way on top of my nachos if I had leftover coleslaw. A little sprinkling of Country Baked Beans wouldn’t be bad, either. Leftover corn-on-the-cob? Cut off the kernels and throw it on the nachos.
Seriously, nachos are truly a utility player when it comes to re-purposing leftovers. They’re just as useful and as versatile as soup. Instead of throwing leftovers into a soup pot, think about a nacho creation.
Talk about versatility, not only can you create great toppings for nachos, you can be creative with the base. Check out my Apple Nachos. While you’re at it, get a load of my Pecan Pie Nachos. Nachos as dessert? You bet!
My introduction to nachos was at a movie theater probably 40 years ago. You got a small box of stale tortilla chips with a little compartment filled with warm cheese-like something-or-other. It was something different so, of course, I convinced myself it was wonderful. Looking at my full sheet pan of decked out nachos this evening, it warms my heart to think how I innocently enjoyed the movie theater version. I pray my heart, mind and taste never forget that simple is good.
That’s my prayer, and I’m not just talking about nachos.

What a great excuse to make pulled pork! This looks like such an easy summer meal. Definitely looks better than the fried egg sandwich I had for dinner tonight!

I smoked a Boston butt the day before yesterday, and my family is kinda BBQ’ed out. I googled for recipes and came across this one. Looking forward to making this tonight, I havent had nachos in ages.
Jackie Garvin says
I hope you enjoy them!
Becky MacKinnon says
This turned out great! I did squeeze the liquid out of the pulled pork first so the chips wouldn’t get soggy. I didn’t see a pan size, so I guessed. I’ll definitely be using this recipe again!
Jackie Garvin says
So glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
