Deconstructed Pulled Pork Nacho Mania

There’s nothing worse than poorly constructed nachos, except maybe the movie “2012”, and that “Friday” song. Nachos generally suffer from two problems. Either they’re too soggy, or they aren’t layered properly and you end up with 75% empty chips. Either will make you angry. There’s a solution to this. I have it here. Want it? Good. By assembling your nacho toppings in a separate bowl you’re essentially making a nacho dip. So you can get the perfect bite every time.

What you’ll need -

• Pulled Pork (recipe coming soon) or meat of your choice.

• 1 Can pinto beans - drained

• Tortilla chips - preferably from a taco shop or mexican grocery store or anywhere you can get good ones, not the nonsense you get at Vons.

• Cotija cheese

• Cilantro - diced

• White onion - raw, diced

• Avocado salsa

• Chipotle cream

I know what you’re thinking. Where’s the nacho cheese, or any melted cheese? The answer is, well, if you want some add it. I’m would never be against that, ever. I just didn’t add it to this recipe because the avocado salsa and chipotle cream add a lot of those yummy, creamy textures you would get from the cheese, so it’s not necessary. It also makes this dish closer to guilt free, even if that’s nonsense. But if it feels healthier it helps your brain. That’s science.

Start by adding the pulled pork and beans to a pot on medium heat.

Next add your shredded cheese if you’ve decided to add any. Once that melts and all of the items are fully heated transfer them to a large bowl. If you’ve got large bowls that aren’t very deep those are ideal. Next add your onion, cilantro, avocado salsa, chipotle cream, and top off with some cotija. Make it pretty. You don’t want to make avocado salsa? Fine, buy some salsa verde and use that instead. Still delicious. You don’t want to make pulled pork? Fine, grill some chicken and throw it on there. Now grab your chips and dig in. You can go at your own pace because you don’t have to worry about the chips getting all soggy. How great is that? You can just relax, snack, and enjoy a cocktail while you scroll through your facebook feed. Don’t scroll too far. Eventually you’ll get to that post with the conspiracy theory from that “friend” from high school and you get mad because you can’t believe how stupid people are. Don’t do that to yourself.
