Nacho Puerco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn Chips

    Cut corn tortillas into triangles and heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortilla triangles in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

  2. 2

    Make the Slaw

    In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well and set aside to marinate.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Nachos

    On a large serving platter, layer the fried corn chips. Sprinkle melted cheddar and chihuahua cheese over the chips, then add the slow-roasted BBQ carnitas on top.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Evenly distribute the slaw and diced red onion over the nachos. Finally, drizzle the house-made queso generously over the entire dish.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the cheese is melted and the chips are crispy. Enjoy your Nacho Puerco!
