5. Repeat steps 2 4 for a second layer of chips, cheese, pulled pork, and BBQ sauce.

7. Return the entire BBQ nacho mountain to the grill and cook until the top layer of chips is crispy and the cheese is melted, about 3 5 minutes. Remove from the grill.
8. Garnish with jalapeño slices, red onion, fresh cilantro leaves, and lime wedges. Serve immediately with a side of sour cream and hot sauce if desired.
