Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- For the barbecue pork: In a medium saucepan, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and garlic and continue to cook until the garlic is softened. Add the ketchup, molasses, vinegar, hot sauce, mustard and brown sugar and simmer until the sugar is melted and the ingredients have combined, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and carefully blend until smooth. Return to the pan, add Trisha's Pulled Pork and keep over low heat to warm through.
- For the cheese sauce: Heat the cream and pepper in a small saucepan over low heat until it just begins to steam, about 3 minutes. Gradually add the cheese, stirring until the cheese is completely melted. Keep warm, adding a bit more cream if the sauce becomes too thick.
- For the nachos: In a shallow casserole dish, spread the shredded romaine and then top with the tortilla and potato chips mixed together. Spread the pork over the chips and cover with the shredded Cheddar. Bake until the cheese has melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour the cheese sauce over top and garnish with the red onions and scallions.
- Season the ribs well on all sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven over high heat, heat the oil to a shimmer. Add the ribs and sear until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the ribs and transfer to a plate. Add the garlic, carrots and onion and cook until golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of water and, using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add 2 more cups of water and stir to combine.
- Return the ribs to the Dutch oven, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until fork-tender, about 3 hours.
- Remove the ribs from the liquid and transfer to a baking sheet to cool. Strain the cooking liquid and reserve. When cool enough to handle, use 2 forks to shred the pork.

Steps:
- To assemble the nachos, arrange the tortilla chips on a large serving platter. Pile with warm pulled pork. Drizzle barbecue and cheddar sauce over the top, to taste. Garnish with pickled jalapenos and crumbled queso fresco. Serve with cilantro-sour cream, salsa verde and hot sauce on the side. Note: If you only do one thing, though, by all means make the cheddar sauce from scratch. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. First, make the spice rub. Whisk together the paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, mustard powder and cayenne. Massage the spice rub into the pork butt, coating on all sides. Place the rubbed pork in a large Dutch oven; add beer, cider vinegar and liquid smoke. Cover and cook for approximately 3 hours, basting occasionally, until the pork easily falls apart. Remove the pork to a large cutting board while still hot. Cut off excess fat and carefully shred the meat; it is harder to pull once it has cooled. (I either wear heavy-duty rubber gloves on my hands or use my new "bear paws," but two large forks would work, too.) Place the shredded pork back into the Dutch oven and toss with its cooking juices. Cover and set aside until moving forward with the recipe. Yield: 1 1/2 to 2 pounds pulled pork, depending on the amount of fat and bone on the cut. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the eggs and evaporated milk. Turn heat to medium-low; add mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and half of the shredded cheese. Once the cheese sauce begins to warm, add the cornstarch-water mixture (aka the slurry). Whisking frequently, gradually add the remaining cheese and cook until the sauce reaches desired thickness, 10 to 13 minutes. (The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Stir in more evaporated milk if necessary.) To reheat the cheddar sauce, add additional evaporated milk to the cheese, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking over medium-low heat until desired consistency is reach
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork nachos because it is well-marbled and flavorful. You can also use pork loin, but it will be less tender.
- Slow-cook the pork: The best way to achieve tender, juicy pulled pork is to slow-cook it. You can do this in a slow cooker, Instant Pot, or oven. Be patient; the longer you cook the pork, the more flavorful it will be.
- Season the pork well: Use a flavorful rub or marinade to season the pork before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat and make it more delicious.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks. You can also use a meat shredder or food processor, but be careful not to over-shred the pork.
- Make the nacho cheese sauce: While the pork is cooking, you can make the nacho cheese sauce. This can be done using a variety of methods, but the easiest way is to use a pre-made nacho cheese sauce mix. You can also make your own nacho cheese sauce from scratch using shredded cheese, evaporated milk, and spices.
- Assemble the nachos: To assemble the nachos, start by layering tortilla chips on a serving platter. Then, top the chips with pulled pork, nacho cheese sauce, and your favorite toppings. You can use anything from shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes to sour cream and guacamole.
- Serve immediately: Nachos are best served immediately after they are assembled. This will ensure that the chips are crispy and the cheese sauce is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties and potlucks, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give pulled pork nachos a try. You won't be disappointed!
