Pulled Pork Leftovers Nachos with Homemade Avocado Salsa

Envision crisp nachos stacked with your delectable pulled pork leftovers, melty cheese, all garnished with a tangy, DIY avocado salsa. It’s a captivating combination of flavors that will keep you going back for more. Moreover, not only is this a great recipe to repurpose leftover pulled pork, but it’s also a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for relaxed gatherings or movie nights.

Ingredients:

For the Pulled Pork Leftovers Nachos:

• Around 2 cups of leftover pulled pork, preferably seasoned with a smoky barbecue sauce
• 1 packet of your preferred nacho chips
• 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 jalapeno, sliced (optional for a spicy hint)
• 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce (optional for added smokiness)

For the Homemade Avocado Salsa:

• 2 mature avocados, pitted and cubed
• 1/2 red onion, finely diced
• 1 jalapeno, deseeded and finely diced
• 1 bundle of fresh cilantro, coarsely diced
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). This stage is crucial to get those nachos warm and crisp.
2. Evenly distribute the nacho chips on a large baking sheet. Ensure every chip gets a fair share of toppings!
3. Spread your smoky pulled pork leftovers over the chips. To amplify that smoky taste, consider sprinkling a bit more BBQ sauce over the leftover pulled pork.
4. Spread the black beans and sliced jalapenos across the chips and pork. The beans will lend a nice texture, and the jalapenos provide a touch of heat – if that’s your thing!
5. Liberally shower the shredded cheddar over everything, ensuring to blanket all the tasty layers below.
6. Bake for around 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starts to brown. You’ll know it’s ready when the scent of melted cheese and BBQ pulled pork leftovers becomes too alluring.
7. While the nachos bake, it’s time to make the homemade avocado salsa. In a bowl, mix the cubed avocados, diced red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt to taste and mix everything gently. The lime juice not only introduces a zesty kick but also prevents the avocado from discoloring.
8. After the nachos are done, let them rest for a few minutes. It might be challenging, but better safe than burning your tongue!
9. Cover your nachos with hefty dollops of your homemade avocado salsa. You can serve any leftover salsa on the side for additional topping.

Leftover Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Maple-Bourbon Glaze Recipe

Savory sweet potatoes, stuffed with delectable pulled pork and topped with a rich, glossy Maple-Bourbon Glaze – it’s the perfect blend of sweetness and smoky goodness. Additionally, it’s not just a dish; it’s a satisfying journey that brings together comfort food and refined cuisine in each bite.

Ingredients:

For the Pulled Pork Leftover Sweet Potatoes:

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 2 cups of pulled pork leftovers
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Maple-Bourbon Glaze:

• 1/2 cup of bourbon
• 1/2 cup of maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to ensure your sweet potatoes will bake evenly.
2. Rinse and pat dry your sweet potatoes, then pierce several holes in them with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
3. Lightly coat the sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, which will help to achieve a delightfully crisp skin.
4. Position your sweet potatoes on a baking tray and bake for approximately 45-60 minutes. The exact baking time will depend on the size of your sweet potatoes. They’re done when you can smoothly insert a knife into the center.
5. While your sweet potatoes are in the oven, it’s time to create our Maple-Bourbon Glaze. In a small saucepan, blend the bourbon and maple syrup. Simmer over medium heat until the volume reduces by half – this should take around 15-20 minutes. Patience is key here as this process enhances the flavors. Once reduced, switch off the heat and incorporate the butter and a dash of salt until your glaze is glossy and bursting with flavor.
6. In the meantime, reheat your pulled pork leftovers. You can do this in a pan over medium heat or use a microwave if that’s more convenient.
7. After the sweet potatoes are baked and cooled for a few minutes, cut a slit down the center of each, making sure not to slice completely through. To ‘open’ the potato, push the ends towards each other.
8. Pack each sweet potato liberally with your reheated pulled pork leftovers. Remember, more is better in this case!
9. Lastly, drizzle the enticing Maple-Bourbon Glaze over the top of the leftover pulled pork stuffed sweet potatoes. This glaze gives the dish its final, magical touch.
