Servings Appetizers

Ingredients

500 g pork shoulder or pork butt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 large lime juice only
salt to taste
black pepper to taste

For the Nachos:

200 g tortilla chips plain or lightly salted
1 cup guacamole homemade or store-bought
1 cup sour cream
1 cup lettuce shredded
1 medium tomato finely diced
1 medium jalapeños finely sliced
20 leaves fresh mint torn
2 large Limes wedges for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, brown sugar, lime juice, salt and pepper.
2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 large lime, salt, black pepper
Rub this mixture all over the pork. Cover and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the fridge for best flavour.
500 g pork shoulder
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Place the marinated pork in a baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and slow-roast for about 2 hours or until tender and easily shredded with a fork. Let it rest for 10 minutes before pulling it apart with two forks.
Lay out the tortilla chips on a large serving platter or on individual dishes. On each chip, add a small drop of guacamole and sour cream. Place a portion of pulled pork on top, then sprinkle over shredded lettuce and diced tomato. Add a slice of jalapeño and finish with a small mint leaf on top of each nacho.
200 g tortilla chips, 1 cup guacamole, 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup lettuce, 1 medium tomato, 1 medium jalapeños, 20 leaves fresh mint
Serve while the pork nacho appetizers are still warm. These nachos are best enjoyed fresh with a squeeze of lime over the top, if desired.

Notes

Tips for Pork Nacho Appetizers:

If you're short on time, use pre-cooked pulled pork or cook it in a slow cooker earlier in the day.

Mint might seem unusual, but don’t skip it—it adds a refreshing contrast to the richness of the pork and cream.

To make it party-friendly, let guests assemble their own nachos from a platter of toppings.
