Tips for the Best Pulled Pork Nachos
- Use sturdy tortilla chips to prevent sogginess.
- Warm pulled pork slightly before layering for even heating.
- Add extra jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Customize with avocado slices or pickled onions.
Storage
- Best served fresh.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1–2 days, but chips may soften. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
