BBQ Nachos - Germantown Commissary in Memphis

Austin Smoker

I lived in Collierville, TN for 3 years before moving back to Texas and the family fell in LOVE with the BBQ Nachos at the Commissary - simply awesome. Well, after much experimentation, I have MASTERED (according the SHE-E-O and kids) the recipe.

Of course, you have to have excellent Pulled Pork to start, and I use the Elder Ward method with very few variations. See slideshow:


Here'e what you need:
- THIN tortilla chips - authentic mexican chips are usually very thin
- Couple cans of Rico Cheddar Cheese Sauce (I KNOW it's not cheese, but it WORKS!)
- Jalapenos and juice
- Pulled pork
- Your favorite BBQ sauce - I prefer something tomato based and a little sweet, Cattleman's Smokehouse or Honey works great!

Heat the Rico's in a saucepan, thinning it out with at least a cup of juice from a jar of pickled Jalepenos, and milk if necessary, get it good an hot (usually over a med-low flame)


Then it's simple, pile come chips on a plate, cover in a couple handfuls of pulled pork, ladle on the cheese, squeeze on some BBQ sauce and some peppers for good measure.

The first time on of my Memphian friends told me abou these, I thought - NASTY. I WAS WRONG!! Try em'

Wilbur LOVES them!

Sounds great. Pulled Pork actually sounds really good on Nacho's to me.

Thanks for sharing that....Cheers....JerryD

My daughter lives just a few miles from Commissary in Cordova. Have eaten there several times and had their nachos. Yours look killer also! They have a good rub that I stock up on when I'm up there. My daughter loves BBQ spagetti. Haven't tried that yet but its on the list. She also says that Smoked bologna is popular around Memphis.

I had rendezvous nachos alot, but never commisary. Those do look spot on however. I may need to work on some. My favorite was chicken nachos.

Great idea, nice presentation. Where do you find thin chips? I love the idea of tex-mex and bbq.

Hey, Bama don't you know that anytime you cook bologna and try to dress it up, it is called "Frayser Steak". At least thats what we call it in Memphrica.

Great recipe--can't go wrong with nachos, man. I usually will let the kids try what I've cooked and judge it by the expressions on their faces when they dig in. This one sounds like a winner. Gotta get some of those really thin tortilla chips at HEB for this one.

Yep - we go to HEB and get a brand called Xochitl. There is a Store locator at their website:

I can't speak for all, but my favorite is round mission tortilla chips. They are thinner and very good.
