A quick and easy sheet pan nachos recipe loaded with smoky BBQ pulled pork, melty cheeses, and fresh toppings, perfect for game day snacks or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups blue corn or yellow tortilla chips
  • 2 cups BBQ pulled pork, shredded
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños (optional)
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced or sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)
  • Fresh lime wedges (to squeeze over just before eating)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the shredded pulled pork with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread about half the tortilla chips evenly across the sheet pan in mostly a single layer.
  4. Scatter half the seasoned pulled pork over the chips, then sprinkle half the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly on top.
  5. Add the remaining chips over the first cheesy layer, then top with the rest of the pulled pork and cheeses.
  6. Sprinkle black beans and thinly sliced red onions over the top.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and some chip edges turn golden brown. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and scatter pickled jalapeños, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro over the hot nachos.
  9. Serve immediately with dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt and lime wedges on the side. Squeeze lime over just before eating.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid soggy nachos. Layer cheese generously for best melt and flavor. Season pulled pork before baking for extra smoky depth. Fresh toppings should be added after baking to keep them crisp. If chips get soggy, broil for 2 minutes to crisp them back up. Use thawed and patted dry pulled pork if frozen. For vegan or vegetarian versions, substitute pulled pork with jackfruit or beans and use dairy-free cheese.
