Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lbs pork shoulder (pork butt), trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 can (12 fl oz / 355 ml) regular cola
  • 1 cup (240 ml) barbecue sauce
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large bag (10–12 oz) sturdy tortilla chips
  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sliced jalapeños
  • 1/2 cup (80 g) diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, diced or sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Mix smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and rub all over the pork.
  3. Place sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Set the seasoned pork on top of the onions and garlic. Pour the cola evenly over the pork, then drizzle barbecue sauce on top. Do not stir.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until pork is fork-tender.
  6. Remove pork from slow cooker and shred with two forks, discarding large pieces of fat.
  7. Return shredded pork to slow cooker and stir to coat with remaining sauce and onions.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread tortilla chips on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
  9. Spoon pulled pork over chips and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Remove from oven and top with sour cream, jalapeños, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and avocado.
  12. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use regular cola (not diet) for best tenderizing and sweetness. Slow cooking yields juicier pork than Instant Pot. For gluten-free, verify chips and barbecue sauce labels. To keep cleanup easy, line baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Avoid overbaking nachos to prevent dry chips. Shred pork while warm for easier shredding.
