Categories     appetizer

Time 8h40m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 small or 1 large bay leaf
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds boneless pork butt, cut into 4 pieces
One large yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup sorghum (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half
One 5.2-ounce container soft creamy black pepper cheese, such as Boursin
4 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar
1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapenos
2 medium avocados
2/3 cup sour cream
Juice of 2 limes
Pinch of kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
One 16-ounce can refried beans or whole black beans
1 pound bag tortilla chips
1 medium tomato, diced
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • For the pulled pork: In a large bowl, combine the chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, ancho chili powder, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, 2 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper with a fork. Add the pork and turn to completely coat all 4 pieces.
  • In the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker, add the onions and cover them with the pork. In a small bowl, combine the sorghum, coconut oil, vinegar and 1 teaspoon liquid smoke. Pour the mixture over the pork.
  • Cover and cook on low until the pork is tender and falls apart when pulled with a fork, 6 to 8 hours, depending on your slow cooker. Remove the pork from the liquid and shred. Skim and discard the fat from the liquid in the slow cooker. Return the pork to the skimmed liquid. Add the remaining teaspoon liquid smoke and stir gently to combine. Season with additional salt if needed. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • For the queso sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the half-and-half and cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the creamy black pepper cheese until thoroughly combined, and then add the Cheddar. Once the cheeses are combined, stir in the pickled jalapenos and taste for seasoning. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • For the avocado sour cream: When the pork is almost finished, mash the avocados in a bowl with a whisk until broken down. Whisk in the sour cream, lime juice and a pinch of salt until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Press a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface to create a barrier from the air. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the nachos: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the refried beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  • Serve the nachos in individual bowls. Evenly distribute the refried beans, chips, pulled pork and queso sauce. Top each bowl with the avocado cream, tomatoes and cilantro.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Pork Shoulder is the Cut: Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is the ideal cut for pulled pork. It's a fatty, flavorful cut that becomes incredibly tender when cooked low and slow.
  • Rub the Pork: Before cooking, generously rub the pork shoulder with a mixture of spices, herbs, and brown sugar. This will create a delicious crust and infuse the meat with flavor.
  • Slow-Cook the Pork: The key to tender, juicy pulled pork is slow cooking. Cook the pork shoulder in a smoker, slow cooker, or oven at a low temperature for several hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  • Shred the Pork: Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks or a meat shredder. This will create the classic pulled pork texture.
  • Make the Nachos: To assemble the nachos, simply layer tortilla chips, pulled pork, cheese, and your favorite toppings on a baking sheet. Bake the nachos in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve with Dipping Sauces: Serve the nachos with a variety of dipping sauces, such as barbecue sauce, sour cream, and salsa. This will allow your guests to customize their nachos to their liking.

Conclusion:

Memphis-style pulled pork nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make party food. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a dish that will be sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer or main course, give these Memphis-style pulled pork nachos a try.
