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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil. Once hot, sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Spread the tortilla chips evenly over a large oven-safe platter or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Layer the cooked pork mixture evenly over the tortilla chips, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 7
Place the nachos in the preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and top with shredded red cabbage, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, red chili slices, and sesame seeds.
Step 9
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of tangy freshness.
