Ingredients

  • 10 – 12 oz Pulled Pork (check out Big Poppa’s recipe)
  • 1 bag Restaurant-style Tortilla Chips of your choice
  • 14 – 24 oz Refried Pinto Beans (or beans of your choice) – heated
  • 1 large bag Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
  • 1 wheel Cotija Cheese, crumbled
  • 16-24 oz Nacho Cheese, melted
  • 1 jar Mexican Crema
  • 1 bunch Cilantro, chopped
  • 8 oz Salsa (any salsa)
  • 8 oz Pico de Gallo
  • 8-16 oz Big Poppa’s 2-ingredient Guacamole (for topping) – ingredients below
  • 1/2 jar Pickled Jalapeno slices
  • 1-2 Fresh Jalapenos, sliced
  • 1 White onion, diced
  • 1 bunch Green Onion, sliced
  • 1 large Cast Iron Pan
  • For Big Poppa’s 2-ingredient Guacamole
  • 4-6 Avocados
  • 1-2 tbs Big Poppa’s Jallelujah Jalapeno Salt (to taste)

Directions

  1. Preheat smoker or oven to 275F
  2. Using your cast iron pan: Start with a thin layer of chips, build the first layer of nachos: Chips, beans, pulled pork, nacho cheese, shredded cheese, pickled jalapenos, fresh jalapenos (to taste)
  3. Continue to create layers 3-4 times, and cover the top of the final layer with a generous layer of nacho + shredded cheese on the top to cover the chips
  4. Put in the smoker for 10-15min or until cheese is melted/heated through
  5. While nachos are melting on the smoker – prepare Big Poppa’s 2-ingredient guacamole: Smash avocados together in a bowl, season with Big Poppa’s Jallelujah Jalapeno Salt, adding 1/2tbl gradually – taste and continue to add salt until you think it’s “just right” – place pit in bowl with guac and set aside
  6. Remove pan from the smoker – be careful, it will be HOT! Make sure you have the right gloves to handle the pan
  7. Finish topping nachos with pickled jalapenos, fresh jalapenos, salsas, pico de gallo, diced onion, guacamole, green onion, cilantro – then sprinkle with queso fresco and drizzle crema on top
  8. Serve immediately while hot – enjoy.
  9. Pro-tip: Feel free to add any other toppings to these nachos to create your own custom nacho recipe
