Now that Halloween is safely behind us, my mind is already focussed on holiday parties. Is there anyone else that loves this time of year simply because of the appetizers? I love being able to grab my favorite beverage and a few tid bits to munch upon. Eating this way, just makes the conversation flow a little more naturally. Speaking of things that are a bit more natural, Kraft Natural Shredded Cheese is a more wholesome approach to topping all of your holiday appetizers, hors d’oeuvres, and snacks. If you need some more tips and tricks for surviving this time of year, Walmart and Kraft have your back.
Since this is the season of small bites, I decided to combine a comfort food classic with go to appetizer and create Pulled Pork Nachos. They are satisfying, delicious, and will have your guests begging for this simple recipe.
This time of year I am particularly short on time. I am often running from event to event, beginning to decorate, and keeping up with our normal routines, and it is nice to be able to do some one stop shopping. Along with being able to find Kraft Natural Shredded Cheese at Walmart, I was also able to find everything else I needed for this recipe too.
Pulled Pork Nachos (enough for a small get together)
For Pulled Pork
1 small pork tenderloin (you may use shoulder too, but tenderloin is less fatty)
3 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp ground paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
juice of two limes
1 cup water
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pat the tenderloin dry. Then rub the spice mixture onto the tenderloin.
Then, place the pork into a slow cooker and cover with the lime juice and water. Cook on high for 4-5 hours.
Remove from cooker and shred with two forks. Set aside.
For Nachos
2 cups (or a couple of handfuls) tortilla chips
1 to 1 1/2 cup Kraft Natrual Shredded Cheese (I used Cheddar)
1/2 cup pickled jalapeno peppers
2 tablespoons cilantro
lime wedges
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place chips on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake for five minutes or until cheese is melted.
Then, top with shredded pork.
Add pickled jalapeño peppers, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
