Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these nachos ahead of time?

It is best to prepare and bake the nachos right before serving to keep the chips from getting soggy. You can prep the toppings ahead and assemble quickly when ready to bake.

What type of cheese works best?

Swiss cheese melts beautifully, but you can also use cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend depending on your preference.

Is there a way to make these vegetarian?

Yes. Skip the pulled pork and use black beans or grilled vegetables as your main topping, then finish with hot honey for the same sweet and spicy flavor.

Can I adjust the spice level?

Absolutely. The hot honey adds heat, so use less if you prefer mild nachos or add extra jalapeños and chili flakes if you like them extra spicy.

Are these nachos gluten free?

Yes. The tortilla chips, pulled pork, and hot honey used in this recipe are gluten free. Always double-check labels on packaged items to be sure.
