- 2 cups carnitas shredded
- 12-14 oz tortilla chips
- 8 oz shredded colby jack or Mexican blend
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1.2 cup corn salsa or plain corn

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F.

- Bake on the lower oven rack for 8-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted, the carnitas are crispy, and the edges are starting to brown.
- Top the cooked Carnitas Nachos with your choice of pico de gallo, a drizzle of sour cream, and fresh jalapeno slices.
