Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Perfect for leftover pulled pork.

These BBQ pulled pork sheet pan nachos are perfect for game day. Crispy chips, melty cheese, saucy pulled pork, and all your favorite nacho toppings. They’re fast, easy, and perfect for feeding a crowd.

Why Pulled Pork Nachos?

When I brought this tray of nachos out – eyes widened! It always cracks me up (and makes me blush as a host) because you can throw this together so easily and still please your guests.

I’m not sure what’s in the air this year but we seem to have a “football party” at our house every weekend, the home chef in me hopes it’s because they enjoy the food but its probably a mix of that and the fact we have NFL Sunday Ticket….

Pulled pork seems to be great for both picky and adventurous eaters, especially when it’s eaten alongside so many toppings. I really like this recipe because I get to use leftover crockpot pulled pork since leftovers are not always my best friend… The pulled pork just elevates nachos instead of classic, pulled chicken.

Ingredients

I like to make pulled pork in the crockpot and do sliders or sandwiches and use the leftovers to make these nachos! It’s really as simple as it seems, and you could just buy store bought cheese dip instead of making your own to simplify it even more. Guests love these and they taste like you put more effort than you did.

Fresh Ingredients

  • cooked pulled pork – try cooking a roast in the crockpot to make it easy or use pre-cooked/shredded from the grocery store
  • pepper jack cheese
  • white American cheese – I learned recently that yellow American cheese is just dyed white American cheese, so I’ve been making the switch to white since it tastes the same
  • heavy cream
  • sour cream
  • green onion

Pantry Ingredients

  • tortilla chips – white corn are our favorite
  • BBQ sauce – we love Sweet Baby Ray’s
  • tamed, sliced jalapeños – you can absolutely use fresh, the tamed jalapeños in a jar still have a nice kick without being too spicy!
  • black beans – from a can!
  • white vinegar
  • kosher salt
A yellow and red checked bag of white corn tortilla chips, a blue bowl with drained black beans, a white bowl of shredded white cheeses and sliced American cheeses, 2 tiny green pinch bowls with sliced green onions and sliced jalapeños, a white bowl with shredded pulled pork mixed with BBQ sauce, a small blue bowl filled with sour cream with a blue spoon hanging ogg the edge, and a pyrex measuring cup with heavy cream.

How to Make BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos

  • Make the cheese sauce: Combine your cheeses, heavy cream, salt and vinegar in a saucepan until fully combined.
  • Warm the pork: Heat up your fully cooked pork in the oven or microwave and toss with BBQ sauce.
  • Assemble the nachos: Lay out your chips on your sheet pan, drizzle with the cheese sauce, and add your black beans and pulled pork.
  • Bake: Bake for 5-7 minutes until everything is heated through.
  • Top and serve: Add all your favorite chilled nacho toppings and serve!
Step by step instructions to make BBQ pulled pork nachos starting with a gold sheet pan with white corn chips, step 2 adds on a drizzled white cheese sauce, black beans, and bbq pulled pork, and step 3 adds the cold toppings like sliced green onions, drizzled sour cream and sliced tames jalapeños.

Make Ahead Tips

You can make the pulled pork and cheese dip ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you assemble! You just have to heat them through. Everything else seriously only takes a couple of minutes to throw on top.

Description

Perfect for leftover pulled pork!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked pulled pork tossed with ¼ cup BBQ sauce
  • 4 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded
  • 2 ounces white American cheese
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Tortilla chips

Toppings:

  • Tamed jalapenos 
  • Sour cream
  • Black beans, drained
  • Green onion


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  
  2. Make your cheese sauce: In a small saucepan over low to medium heat, warm 1/3 cup heavy cream until just heated through. Gradually stir in 4 oz shredded pepper jack and 2 oz American cheese, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted. Keep the heat low to prevent curdling. Stir in 1 teaspoon white vinegar and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Remove from the heat. 
  3. Warm through the pulled pork and toss with ¼ cup bbq sauce. 
  4. To your parchment lined baking sheet, add a layer of chips. Top with your melted cheese mixture, followed by the pulled pork and black beans. 
  5. Add to your preheated oven for 5 minutes. 
  6. Remove from the oven and top with your remaining toppings: tamed jalapenos, sour cream, and green onion. 
  7. Drizzle with extra bbq sauce if desired. Enjoy!
