For the pulled pork:
Remove the pork shoulder from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Set your Grilla Grill to 275 degrees, we’re going hot n’ fast on this pork butt. (This will be at the top of the range for smoking meat.) Cover the entire shoulder generously with the mustard. Liberally coat the entire outside of the shoulder with dry rub; the mustard will help this stay on nicely
NOTE: You can take the cider, beer, and brown sugar (recipe listed above) and whisk together in a glass bowl to be used for periodically spraying onto the meat, as it cooks; this is completely optional.
Place the shoulder in the preheated grill and allow to smoke for three hours. Using the spray every 30 minutes, if you decide to. Remove the shoulder from the grill after three hours and cover with butcher paper or foil. Return the shoulder to the grill for two more hours. Remove the shoulder from the grill and remove the foil or butcher paper. Return the shoulder to the gill and cook until you have an internal temperature of 205 degrees. Remove the pork, for the final time and allow to rest for thirty minutes before shredding
For the Jalapenos:
– Combine all ingredients, except the jalapenos, in a sauce pan and bring to a rolling boil. Cut peppers into slices and place the jalapenos into a glass jar. Pour the boiling pickling liquid over the jalapenos, cover, and let stand for ten minutes.
For the Nachos:
– Take the cilantro, onions, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, and the juice of two of the limes and combine in a bowl to make your salsa. On a party platter place a generous amount of chips and cover with the beans, salsa, pulled pork, cheese, and pickled jalapenos. Place the assembled nachos in the oven for a few minutes, to let the cheese melt; garnish with the remaining limes and ENJOY!

Hog Wild Barbeque pit-man Ernie Mellor, a Memphis celebrity, has been credited with the invention of BBQ nachos. If you’ve ever tasted their incredibly addictive concoction of flavors — spicy, saucy, savory, meaty, smoky, cheesy, creamy and crunchy — you’d think Mellor is a food genius.
We have to look at where good ol’ plain nachos originated for a deeper dive into their roots. Before nachos became one of the most beloved snack foods in North America and beyond, they were invented on a whim.
The first nachos were served in 1940 in Piedras Negras, a small Mexican town, by restaurateur Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya. One day, Anaya was tasked with having to rustle up a quick, tasty snack for a group of U.S. military wives who were in town. He was without his chef and decided to do what he could with what he had on hand — tortillas, cheese and jalapeño peppers. Ignacio fried the tortillas and served them warm with the jalapeño and a sprinkle of grated cheese.
The dish’s popularity swiftly spread throughout the southwestern U.S. and Texas, eventually becoming a global sensation. Nachos — although indeed a Tex Mex dish — will always have Mexico at their heart.
