Table Top Pulled Pork Nachos are made for feeding a crowd — smoky, tender pulled pork piled high over crispy chips with the perfect sweet-and-savory balance from creamy queso and BBQ sauce. Built right on a large cutting board or straight on the counter, this is the perfect dish for game days or your next get-together. It’s bold, messy in the best way, and guaranteed to disappear fast.
Total Time: 10 hours (including pulled pork. 15-20 minutes once pulled pork is done)

Ingredients
PULLED PORK
- 1 Boston butt (8–10 lb)
- Salt, pepper, and garlic powder
- Favorite BBQ rub
Mop Sauce:
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2.5 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper
NACHOS

- Tortilla chips
- Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or blend)
- BBQ sauce
- Sour cream
- Jalapeños

- Cilantro
Instructions
Cooking:
- Season the Boston butt generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and your favorite BBQ rub.
- Place on a smoker at 250°F and cook for about 10 hours, mopping with vinegar sauce every hour to build flavor and bark.
- When the pork reaches an internal temperature of 165–175°F, wrap using the foil boat method and continue cooking until probe tender and around 205°F.
- Remove from the smoker and rest in a cooler for at least 1–2 hours.
- Once rested, shred the pork and set aside.
- For transport, vacuum seal the pulled pork if possible (best for reheating), or store it in a zip-top bag or airtight container.
- Keep chilled in a Titan Zipperless Cooler until ready to use.
- Reheat the pulled pork using a sous vide, oven, or stovetop until hot.
- To build the nachos, spread tortilla chips out on a large tray or table-safe platter. Layer with shredded cheese and hot pulled pork, then finish with BBQ sauce and your favorite toppings. Serve immediately and let everyone dig in.
PRO TIP: Use Titan’s New Ice Blanket to keep your food cool without the watery mess of traditional ice.
