Toppings

Method

Prepare Tortilla Chips

  1. 1

    Fry Tortilla Chips

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the corn tortillas until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare Smoked Meat

  1. 2

    Prepare Meat

    If using leftovers, warm the smoked brisket and pulled pork in a pan over low heat until heated through. Shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.

Make BBQ Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

Assemble Nachos

  1. 4

    Layer Ingredients

    On a large serving platter, layer the fried tortilla chips. Top with warm smoked meat, diced tomato, diced red onion, sliced jalapeños, and shredded cheese.

  2. 5

    Drizzle BBQ Sauce

    Drizzle the prepared BBQ sauce over the nachos, then add a dollop of sour cream on top.
