Copycat Parlor Pizza Nacho Bites | Easy & Delicious!
I’ve never claimed to be a food blogger but you have to make these Parlor Pizza (Chicago, IL) Nacho Bites!
I’ve missed the Chicago food scene so much lately. So, I decided to bring it to Washington with these nachos! Overall, this is a pretty easy dinner to make. Just make sure to prep your pork (or meat of choice) ahead of time of the ultimate easy dinner.
Ingredients:
-Pork shoulder or meat of your choosing
-Barbecue sauce to cook the meat + more for serving (about 1.5 bottles)
-Tortilla chips
-Mexican cheese
-Sour cream
-Chipotle hot sauce
-Pico de Gallo
-Guacamole
-Spinach
-Green onion
*Make these vegetarian by subbing out meat for cauliflower. I would air fry them and then coat with barbecue sauce so you still get that flavor!
Step 1: Cook the meat
I chose to cook our pork shoulder in the crockpot. I added one full bottle of barbecue sauce and let cook on HIGH for 6 hours until meat fell off the bone.
Step 2: Prep the chipotle crema
I combined about 4tbs of chipotle hot sauce with approximately 1/2 cup of sour cream. Set aside and use to top nachos.
Step 3: Cook nachos
Turn on oven to 350°f. While waiting for oven to heat up, prep a sheet pan with parchment paper. Pour tortilla chips onto pan and sprinkle generously with shredded cheese. Once oven is preheated, cook nachos for 10 minutes. Add spinach after 5 minutes.
Step 4: Prep the meat
I used a medium sized bowl and pulled out the shredded pork I wanted to use (save the rest for yummy pulled pork sandwiches!). I added about half a bottle of barbecue sauce and combined.
Step 5: Build nachos
After 10 minutes, remove sheet pan from oven and top with meat, pico de gallo, guacamole, crema, pork, barbecue sauce and other desired toppings.
I don’t think any nacho can beat the real thing at Parlor Pizza but these are pretty darn close!
