How to Make Pulled Pork Nachos in the Air Fryer
- Place the pulled pork in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 minutes or until heated.
- Remove from the air fryer and set aside.
- Cut a piece of parchment paper and place it in the air fryer. Ensure it doesn’t hang over the top of the air fryer.
- Add the tortilla chips to the lined air fryer basket. Drizzle with cheese dip and half of the bbq sauce.
- Add the pulled pork, cheddar, and Monterey cheese, then drizzle on the rest of the bbq sauce.
- Air fry for 3-5 minutes at 350°F or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Sprinkle on your favorite toppings, lift the nachos out of the air fryer basket using the parchment paper, and place them onto a plate. Serve and enjoy!
Helpful Notes:
- Top these air fryer pulled pork nachos with your favorite toppings, like green onions, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, guacamole, and sour cream!
- This is a great dish to make when you have leftover pulled pork in your fridge or freezer. You can also buy pre-made pulled pork at Costco and other grocery stores.
- If you’re not a fan of pulled pork, these nachos would be equally delicious with pulled chicken!
Storage and Reheating Instructions:
Nachos are best fresh and don’t make great leftovers (it’s sad but true), so I recommend you finish up the plate and make a new batch of air fryer pulled pork nachos whenever you want them.

INSTRUCTIONS

- Then drizzle on all the cheese dip and half of the bbq sauce.
