Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, slow-cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup smoky BBQ sauce
  • 1 large bag (1012 oz) sturdy tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)
  • 1 large ripe avocado, diced or mashed (for serving)
  • Fresh lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Toss the shredded pork with 1 cup of BBQ sauce in a large mixing bowl, ensuring all pork is coated. Warm slightly if pork is cold.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Spread half the tortilla chips evenly on a baking sheet. Sprinkle half the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses on top. Scatter half the black beans, red onion, and jalapeños. Spoon half the BBQ pulled pork over everything. Repeat layers with remaining chips, cheese, beans, onions, jalapeños, and pork.
  4. Bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Remove from oven, sprinkle chopped cilantro, and add dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt, diced avocado, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.

Notes

Warm pulled pork before mixing with BBQ sauce for better flavor absorption. Avoid piling pork too thick to prevent soggy chips. Toast chips for 3-4 minutes before layering for extra crunch. Use dairy-free cheese and sour cream and substitute pork with jackfruit or mushrooms for vegan version. Use certified gluten-free BBQ sauce and chips for gluten-free diet.
