Ingredients

2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
4-5 lbs pork butt or pork shoulder
1 medium yellow onion, large diced
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
12 ounces Dr. Pepper (not diet)
8 ounces tortilla chips
1-1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1-1½ cups Monterey Jack cheese
pickled jalapenos optional
halved grape or cherry tomatoes optional
corn kernels optional
sliced green onions
sour cream
chopped cilantro

Instructions

Mix the smoked paprika, dry mustard, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and ground cayenne pepper. Rub it over the meaty parts of the pork and let it rest for 1-2 hours. If resting longer than that, refrigerate it.
Add the cut onion to the bottom of the crock pot. Place the pork butt on top of the onions, fat side up.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and Dr. Pepper. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours. Using 2 forks, shred the pork, removing the cartilage and fat. Shred only the amount of pork you will be using at this time.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the chips in a layer on the prepared sheet and top with the cheese and shredded pork. Pop them in the oven for 7-8 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Top with pickled jalapenos, tomatoes, crisp corn, green onions, and cilantro or your choice of toppings.

Notes

Do not shred any pork you will be using later. See above for cooking the pulled pork in advance.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Nachos are best consumed as soon as they are cooked. If you need to reheat them, the air fryer is your best option.
