Published in June 2014, updated in November 2018

These Korean pulled pork nachos were inspired by the fabulous street food I enjoyed at Food Blogger Connect back in 2014 … where does the time go?

The spicy pulled pork would be fantastic served in a bun, but it is out-of-this-world amazing served on tortilla chips with fresh salsa and avocado crema. I may never eat anything else ever again!

There’s several recipes for pulled pork on this blog. You can make it in the oven, your slow cooker or in the Instant Pot! All methods yield delicious results so choose whichever is most convenient. You can even make vegan “pulled pork” using jackfruit – it really tastes amazing!

Spicy pulled pork

You will need

  • Lightly salted tortilla chips
  • Freshly grated cheddar cheese
  • Pulled pork (see recipe below or use your favourite)
  • Pico de gallo
  • Avocado crema
  • Hot sauce (such as Sriracha) or bbq sauce

How to make pulled pork nachos

Step 1. Spread the tortilla chips on a  large rimmed baking sheet lined with baking paper. Top with the pulled pork.

Step 2. Transfer onto a platter. Sprinkle with the cheese and place in a preheated oven for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cool slightly

Step 3. Spoon some of the pico de gallo on top of the nachos and add the avocado dressing. Drizzle with hot sauce and dive in!

Alternatively pile your tortilla chips onto a large plate, add the pork and cheese and microwave until the cheese melts.

Instructions

Make the pulled pork

  • Preheat the oven to 160 | 320F.
  • Put the chopped vegetables in an ovenproof lidded dish.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and brown the pork on all sides for a couple of minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Rub the meat with the chili paste, ginger, salt and brown sugar and place on top of the vegetables.
  • Add the water, lime juice, soy, Worcestershire sauce, rice wine and season with pepper.
  • Cover and roast for 3 hours or until meat is fork tender.
  • Place the pork on a plate and cover with foil to rest while you prepare the sauce.
  • Pour all the vegetables and meat juices in a small pot and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a rolling simmer and cook for 10 minutes until sauce reduces.
  • Sieve the sauce into a bowl, pressing on the vegetables with the back of a spoon.
  • Remove any large pieces of fat from the meat then shred using two forks (or your fingers). Add the sauce and toss to combine.

Make the pico de Gallo

  • Mix everything together in a bowl and season with salt and the chili powder. Best served freshly made.

Make the avocado cream

  • Either pulse everything together in a mini chopper or mash with a fork until completely smooth.

Make the nachos

  • Spread the tortilla chips on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with baking paper. Top with the pulled pork.
  • Transfer onto a platter. Sprinkle with the cheese and place in a 200°C (400°F) preheated oven for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cool slightly

    I am literally obsessed with gochujang right now, so I’m loving how you’ve used it here with more traditional toppings to give these nachos a Mexi-Korean twist. This is going straight to the top of my must-make list!

    Your photos are so colorful and I’m a big fan of spicy, so it looks like great seasonings for these nachos. I’m gonna have to make a vegan version inspired by your recipe. Thanks!

    Every time we have pulled pork we run out of buns first. Next time I have leftover pork, I am going to try these. They look fantastic! And that avocado cream – oh my. I could probably just scoop it up by itself. 😉
