These loaded BBQ brisket nachos combine smoky, tender brisket with melty cheese and a jalapeño kick for a quick, crowd-pleasing snack or meal perfect for game day or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded BBQ brisket
  • 8 to 10 ounces sturdy tortilla chips
  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 to 3 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced (seeds removed for milder heat)
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • ½ cup smoky BBQ sauce
  • Sour cream for drizzling or dolloping
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Shred about 2 cups of cooked brisket using two forks. Toss brisket with ½ cup BBQ sauce to coat evenly.
  3. Spread 8-10 ounces of sturdy tortilla chips evenly on a baking sheet or oven-safe pan without overcrowding.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup drained black beans evenly over the chips, then add the BBQ sauced brisket on top.
  5. Distribute 1½ cups shredded cheddar and 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the brisket and beans.
  6. Scatter thinly sliced 2-3 jalapeños (seeds removed if desired) and ¼ cup diced red onion on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven, sprinkle chopped cilantro on top, and add dollops of sour cream.
  9. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.

Notes

Use thick, sturdy tortilla chips to prevent sogginess. Remove jalapeño seeds for milder heat or add pickled jalapeños for extra spice. Watch oven time closely to avoid burning cheese. Leftover brisket works great. For reheating leftovers, bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to crisp chips.
