Preparation of Proteins

    Shred Chicken

    If using cooked chicken, shred it with two forks or chop into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare Pulled Pork

    If using pulled pork, ensure it is warmed up if pre-cooked. Mix with BBQ sauce if desired.

Assemble Nachos

    Bake Nachos

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the nachos for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
