How to Make Paleo Pulled Pork Nachos
Step One: Set it and forget it
Add the pork to the crockpot. Dice the onion and jalapeno and add to the crockpot. Add the garlic powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, chili powder, chicken broth and lime juice to the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 hours. When there is an hour left on the crockpot, shred the pork and continue to cook the shredded pork for the remaining time. This is an optional step, but it results in the most juicy and flavorful pork!
Step Two: Shred and add toppings
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and place the tortilla chips on a sheet pan. Bake the chips for 5-10 minutes until they become crispy. Shred the pork and serve with grain free tortilla chips and your preferred toppings.
