Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups sturdy tortilla chips
  • 2 cups smoked pulled pork (leftover or store-bought)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese blend (sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1–2 jalapeños, sliced thin
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, fresh avocado slices or guacamole, pickled red onions, fresh cilantro sprigs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the jalapeño ranch: In a small blender or food processor, combine ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup sour cream, 1 chopped seeded jalapeño, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth. Chill in the fridge.
  3. Mix the pulled pork and black beans in a medium bowl to distribute flavors evenly.
  4. Spread about 8 cups of sturdy tortilla chips evenly on a large rimmed sheet pan.
  5. Scatter the pork and bean mixture evenly over the chips.
  6. Sprinkle 2 cups shredded cheese blend all over, covering the pork well.
  7. Add thin slices of 1-2 jalapeños on top.
  8. Bake the sheet pan in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and chip edges start to crisp.
  9. Remove from oven and drizzle generously with the jalapeño ranch.
  10. Add any optional toppings like chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or pickled onions.
  11. Serve immediately while hot and fresh.

Notes

Use thick, sturdy tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Layer ingredients in two thinner layers for even cooking and crunch. Chill jalapeño ranch ahead for best flavor. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt and use vegan mayo. To keep chips crunchy when reheating, warm in oven instead of microwave.
