Mac's BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos

Hello everyone!

I'm Mike (aka "Mac"), the fancy fun loving foodie's good friend and partner in crime. I have been asked by Brad to contribute to his blog and I couldn't be more honored to do so. Brad and I have a lot in common, especially when it comes to the world of food! I share the same passions about good food, good drink and good family and friends to share them with.

OK, enough with the introductions. I am writing you because of some nachos I concocted last night and Brad wanted me to share with his blog followers.

So I'm a huge fan of anything BBQ related and nachos--so let's bring both of my favorite worlds together.

First you should get your hands on a good grill tray. I purchased this one for about $50 at Williams-Sonoma. This thing is great. You can go from the grill to the table with ease. Then get all the ingredients together, here was my lineup:

- Tostitos Corn Chips (Regular)

- BBQ Pulled Pork (Costco sells a great pre-made pulled pork. Just heat it up and you're good to go)

- Any Vinegar based Honey BBQ Sauce ( I prefer "Sweet Rack" from Westport's Bobby Q's Restaurant)

- Shredded Cheddar Cheese

- Sliced Jalapenos (pickled)

- 1/2 Lime (to be juiced later)

Start with creating a layer of chips down on your grill tray first. Then add the pulled pork, BBQ sauce, cheese then jalapenos. Create about two more layers of the ingredients. Place the grill tray on your grill (set on High) and let the nachos cook for 5-7 minutes. Basically until the cheese is melted. Once on the table you can add the juice of 1/2 a lime all over the nachos for that great taste. You can also add sour cream, fresh pico de gallo or any other nacho condiments you may be fond of.

These nachos were a hit and the BBQ Pulled Pork adds a little something different to your traditional nachos you may be accustomed to. The prep and cook time is very short and these make a great appetizer for your guests.

Hope you enjoy these nachos for any game night or night in between.

Mike
