Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Tortilla chips
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 4 pieces Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Red chili, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded red cabbage
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil. Once hot, sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and Sriracha. Mix thoroughly to coat the pork evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Spread the tortilla chips evenly over a large oven-safe platter or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Layer the cooked pork mixture evenly over the tortilla chips, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and top with shredded red cabbage, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, red chili slices, and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of tangy freshness.
