Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pulled pork ideally this Carnitas / Mexican pulled pork leftover or just made
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces tortilla chips ideally thick and sturdy
  • 8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese or a mix of Jack and cheddar
  • thinly sliced jalapeño fresh or pickled, to taste
  • chopped fresh cilantro to taste
  • Pico de Gallo to taste
  • guacamole to taste
  • sour cream to taste
  • lime wedges for serving, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375˚F.
  • Shred or cut pulled pork into bite-size pieces.
  • Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat until hot. Add pork; cook and stir until heated through and slightly crisped, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Spread chips onto a quarter sheet pan in a single layer with chips overlapping, but not stacked. Bake 3-5 minutes (depending on chip thickness) until lightly crisp and fragrant.
  • Top hot chips evenly in 3 layers: 1/2 of cheese, followed by pulled pork pieces, finishing with remaining cheese. Bake 5 to 7 minutes until cheese has melted.
  • Serve hot, topped with jalapeño slices, lime wedges, cilantro (optional), and pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream on the side.

Notes

  1. Note that preparation time does not include making Pico de Gallo or guacamole from scratch, but I recommend that you do! :)
  2. It's worth it to shred your own cheese. Skip the bagged stuff that's coated in potato starch or cellulose powder as it doesn't melt well.
  3. Feel free to adjust the amount of shredded cheese. I've seen recipes with much less than I suggest and up to twice as much - the amount is definitely subjective. I encourage you to make these your own!
