Smoked Tortilla Chips

Take an aluminum Pan and cover it with Foil and spray with the Avocado Oil
Cut the Shells into 4 separate pieces and place them on the pan, evenly spaced apart.
Apply a conservative amount of Salt and Kosmos Dirty Bird Hot Rub
Pre-heat the pellet smoker to 325°
Place the aluminum pans with the chips into the pellet smoker for 45 minutes or until they start to curl up on the edges and change colors.
Remove and allow them to rest and they will become crispy.

Mexican Relish

Pour All ingredients into the Mixing Bowl and mix thoroughly
Cover the mixing bowl and place in the refrigerator (you can make this far in advance. The more time to the more the flavors will blend.)

Queso Cheese

Place the pot on a stove top or gas campfire stove and turn on the heat to very low temperature
Continue to stir until the mixture is completely melted and smooth

Nachos Assembly

Pour the Queso into a sperate mixing bowl. Don’t worry about the cheese left in the bottom of the pot.
Place about 1/3 of the Pulled pork into the bottom of the pot that you made the queso in.
Add some of the Mexican Relish
Add some of the Queso Cheese
Add some of the Corn and Flour Chips
Repeat the process until the pot is full or you are out of ingredients.
Place a plate or cast iron pot on top of the pot
Now, the trick. Flip the cast iron pan and the pot over at the SAME time.
Remove the pot and you now have the Perfect Pulled Pork Queso Nachos ever.
Share and enjoy
