Notes

How long will the nachos last once baked?
For nachos, fresh and hot from the oven is best, but if you should have leftovers store them in an airtight container. I wouldn’t go more than 2 days as the chips will become soggy.
What’s the best way to reheat leftover nachos?
Remove them from the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature. Preheat your baking sheet in the oven while it’s preheating to 300°F until warm and then place the nachos on the warmed baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes or until headed through. If possible, add a few fresh chips and more freshly grated cheese.
Can I make pulled pork nachos ahead of time?
I do not recommend assembling them ahead of time beacause the chips will get soggy. However, you can have everything prepped and ready to go. Shred your cheese, dice your veggies, and such to make assembling easy.
