The Prep – This easy recipe only takes a few ingredients, so preparing for it is simple. All you need is leftover pulled pork, bowl-shaped corn chips, Mexican shredded cheese, and BBQ sauce of your choice.

First – (1) Warm up your pulled pork as it will be easier to work with. (2) Lay out the bowl-shaped corn chips on a baking sheet. (3) Add in enough pork but not fill it all the way as you need to save some room for the BBQ sauce and cheese. (4) Add in your choice of BBQ sauce. (5) Generously cover the chips with Mexican shredded cheese as this will help hold everything together.  

Plan-Ahead Tip: If you’re preparing these in advance, hold off on adding the cheese. The pulled pork takes longer to heat through, so warm the pork first, then add the cheese and return to the oven until melted.

The Cook – Heat oven to 325°F and place the baking sheet in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted to a golden brown.

The Presentation & Taste – These pulled pork bites are a feast for the eyes! Each scoop is artfully loaded with vibrant, smoky pulled pork and melted cheese, arranged beautifully on a platter that’s sure to catch everyone’s attention.
