Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 bag Tortilla chips
  • 8 oz black beans, pulled pork, or brisket
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup super melty cheese (SMC) (see above)
  • 1/2 bottle Guy's BBQ Sauce
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo
  • 3 spigs cilantro
  • 2 tbsp pickled onion
  • 1 jalapeno (sliced) (optional)

Equipment

  • 1 "Trash Can" A container that's 6" wide by 6.5" tall with both ends open

Method
 

  1. Turn on your oven's broiler (or 400 degrees if you don't have a broiler)
  2. Spread tortilla chips evenly over a roasting pan
  3. Sprinkle black beans, pulled pork, or brisket evenly over the chips.
  4. Drizzle SMC cheese sauce over chips so they're all coated
  5. Top with shredded cheese
  6. Drizzle BBQ sauce across chips
  7. Place in oven for 4-5 minutes until cheese is melted and chip edges are browned
  8. Remove from oven and set aside
  9. Place a small amount of SMC on a plate. This will hold the tower to the plate.
  10. Place the "trash can" in the middle of the plate
  11. Use a spatula or tongs to pile the chips in the "trash can." Do 1/3 of the tray at a time. Press down gently between layers to "glue" them together (don't break the chips).
  12. Drizzle sour cream on top of the tower, and top with pico de gallo and cilantro sprigs.
  13. Move the plate to where you will be serving and gently lift the can off to reveal your trash can nachos.
