Instant Pot Pulled Pork Nachos

Crowd-pleasing, pulled pork nacho recipe with the most amazing melt-in-your-mouth, juicy shredded pork. So tender, so good!

I had a friend text me the other night and ask me, “Hey, I got this giant pork shoulder on sale. What on earth can I do with it?!”

I think I replied in 0.25 seconds.  “IP pork nachos. What else would you make?”

Hello, it’s Game Day season and we always, always need a giant sheet pan of nachos, no questions asked. And why not make them in the pressure cooker that takes such minimal effort?

Am I right or am I right?

So let’s make IP pulled pork (especially if you have clearance pork shoulder!), pressure cooked for 40 minutes. Do your quick-release, shred your pork, top off your chips, and bake until melted cheesy heaven.

Serve with all your favorite toppings. Pickled jalapenos are an absolute must in my book!

• ¾ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 12-ounce pilsner or lager beer
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin

• 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
• ¾ cup pico de gallo, homemade or store-bought
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ½ cup guacamole
• ¼ cup pickled jalapenos
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

• Set a 6-qt Instant Pot® to the high saute setting.

• Remove pork shoulder from the Instant Pot® and shred using two forks; season with salt and pepper, to taste, if needed.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
• Place tortilla chips in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Top with 2 cups shredded pork (reserve remaining pork for later use), black beans, pico de gallo and cheeses.
• Place into oven and bake until heated through and the cheeses have melted, about 10-12 minutes.
• Serve immediately, topped with guacamole, jalapenos, sour cream and cilantro.
