Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 bag (32 ounces) frozen tater tots
  • 2 cups pulled pork, cooked
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, sliced (optional)
  • Sour cream for dolloping
  • BBQ sauce for drizzling
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bake Tater Tots (25 minutes):
    Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the tater tots package. Spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.
  2. Prep the Toppings (10 minutes):
    While the tater tots are baking, prepare your pulled pork (if not already pre-cooked) and dice the red pepper and tomato, and slice the green onions.
  3. Layer the Nachos (5 minutes):
    Once the tater tots are crispy, remove them from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Layer half of the tater tots in a cast-iron skillet or ovenproof dish. Top with half of the pulled pork, cheese, red bell pepper, and jalapeños if using. Repeat with the remaining tater tots, pork, and toppings.
  4. Bake Loaded Nachos (15 minutes):
    Place the skillet or dish in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
  5. Add Final Toppings (5 minutes):
    Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately dollop with sour cream, drizzle with BBQ sauce, and sprinkle with diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve the loaded pulled pork tater tot nachos hot, inviting everyone to dig in and enjoy the medley of flavors and textures.
