Categories     Pork

Number Of Ingredients 36

Hot sauce
Black Beans
Onions
THE PULLED PORK:
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
3 1/2 to 4-pound bone-in pork butt, fat intact (also known as pork shoulder)
1/2 cup lager-style beer (like Budweiser)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
FOR THE BARBECUE SAUCE:
12/13 - we used KC Style BBQ sauce and Stubb's Original
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup steak sauce or marinade (such as Dale's or Allegra)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke
Generous amount of freshly ground pepper
FOR THE CHEDDAR SAUCE:
2 eggs
1 cup (8 ounces) evaporated milk
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
Kosher salt, to taste

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

These nachos were so easy to make and they turned out delicious! I used leftover pulled pork and it worked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.

I was disappointed with these nachos. The pulled pork was dry and the cheese was not melted evenly. I would not recommend this recipe.

These nachos were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. The pulled pork was tender and juicy, and the cheese was melted to perfection. I would recommend using a milder salsa if you don't like spicy food.
