Dive into indulgence with our Smoky BBQ Pulled Pork Nacho Skillet, a quick and easy dinner loaded with flavor!
Ingredients
- • boneless pork shoulder: 1 lb
- • BBQ sauce: 1 cup
- • smoked paprika: 1 tsp
- • garlic powder: 1 tsp
- • onion powder: 1 tsp
- • tortilla chips: 8 oz
- • shredded cheddar cheese: 2 cups
- • shredded Monterey Jack cheese: 1 cup
- • sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled): 1/4 cup
- • fresh cilantro, chopped: 1/4 cup
- • sour cream: 1/2 cup
- • lime wedges: 4
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the pork shoulder until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. This step adds a delicious crust and seals in the juices.
- 3 Reduce the heat to medium and add the BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to the skillet. Stir to combine, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes until the pork is tender and flavors meld.
- 4 Using two forks, shred the pork directly in the skillet, mixing it thoroughly with the BBQ sauce.
- 5 Spread a layer of tortilla chips in an oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Top with half of the shredded pork and half of the cheeses. Repeat with another layer of chips, pork, and the remaining cheese.
- 6 Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- 7 Remove from the oven and top with sliced jalapeños and fresh cilantro. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and lime wedges on the side.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Smoky BBQ Pulled Pork Nacho Skillet is a meal in itself, but you can elevate it even further by serving with a side of tangy coleslaw or a fresh mixed green salad. For a complete indulgent experience, pair it with an ice-cold beer or a refreshing margarita to complement the smoky and spicy flavors. For a touch of sweetness, consider serving a simple dessert like caramelized bananas or grilled peaches with vanilla ice cream. These flavors will balance the rich and smoky notes of the nacho skillet, leaving your guests satisfied and smiling.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread the leftovers in a skillet and warm over medium heat until heated through. You can also reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes for optimal crispiness. To maintain the texture of the tortilla chips, avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy. Add fresh toppings after reheating for the best flavor experience.
