Ingredients

Brisket & Beans Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups of Cooked Brisket or Any Cooked Meat cubed
  • 1 tbsp of Butter unsalted
  • 1 cup of Pinto Beans drained & washed
  • 1.5 tbsp of Chipotle Purée
  • 2 tbsp of your favorite BBQ Sauce

Nacho Ingredients:

  • 3 cup of Tortilla Chips
  • 2 cups of Sharp Cheddar Cheese grated
  • 2 tbsp Red Onions chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño thinly sliced
  • 1.5 tbsp of Mexican Crema or Sour Cream
  • 1.5 tbsp of your favorite BBQ sauce
  • Chopped Cilantro for garnish
  • Lime Wedges for garnish
  • Guacamole for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your fire to a medium high heat (around 375F).
  • Add your skillet & butter 1-2 minutes before cooking directly over the coals to preheat.
  • Add your cubed brisket or meat to the skillet to cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Once it begins to char & caramelize, add the pinto beans, chipotle puree and bbq sauce. Let that simmer over the heat for 3 minutes stirring often.
  • When it is nice & warm, pull the skillet off the grill and add the brisket & beans to a different bowl.
  • Clean out your skillet.
  • Let’s begin making the nachos. Add ⅔’s of your tortilla chips to the skillet.
  • Cover them thoroughly with ⅔’s of your brisket & beans and the shredded cheese.
  • Add the remaining chips, meat & cheese on top of the first layer for a second layer.
  • Cover the skillet with one layer of aluminum foil.
  • Being creative with your fire/grill options, place the skillet down where there is little to no heat coming from underneath. Place a grill grate or something heat resistant above it, not touching the foil, and cover that with hot coals.
  • Cook the nachos for 3-4 minutes under the coals or until the cheese has fully melted & is beginning to caramelize.
  • Once done, pull it off and discard the foil.
  • Garnish the nachos with chopped red onions, sliced jalapenos, bbq sauce, mexican crema, chopped cilantro and lime wedges. Share & enjoy!
