Pork Rind Nachos Recipes

Steps:

• Place pork, onion, and seasonings into a 6-quart slow cooker. Mix to coat meat in seasonings.
• Add ketchup and mustard, spreading evenly over the outside of the meat.
• Set slow cooker to High and cook for 4 hours, until the meat pulls apart easily. Alternatively, the meat can be cooked on the Low setting for 8 hours.
• Remove meat from slow cooker and transfer it to a bowl or cutting board. Using two forks, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Using a cast-iron pan or other oven-safe dish, assemble the nachos layer by layer. Chips, then pork, onion, BBQ sauce, and cheese. Repeat as desired for additional layers.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling.
• Top with sour cream, salsa, and cilantro.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Turn a deep fryer to 350 degrees F. When the fryer reaches 350 degrees, place a handful of uncooked pork rinds into the hot oil. Allow the rinds to cook and expand in the oil for 3 to 5 minutes. Don't overcook or the rinds will become tough. (If you don't have a fryer, you can substitute pre-cooked store-bought pork rinds.)
• Place the beef into a hot fry pan. Lightly mix the beef with half of the taco seasoning and fry and chop into smaller pieces until the beef is fully cooked.
• Find a round 9-inch plate and place the lightly crisped pork rinds onto the plate. Sprinkle the rinds with the remaining taco seasoning. Then top the rinds with the cooked and drained taco meat pieces. Put on the Mexican cheese. Place the plate into the microwave for 2 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove the nachos from the microwave and the top with lettuce, jalapeños, onions and tomatoes. Serve with a side of sour cream and your favorite salsa.
