I don’t think nachos get any better than these BBQ Brisket Nachos. Crunchy tortilla chips covered with shredded beef brisket and cheese plus all kinds of toppings. These nachos are totally customizable so that the whole family will enjoy them.
Leftover Brisket
Since I discovered THE BEST Oven Barbecued Beef Brisket EVER, I’ve been using the leftovers in all kinds of ways. Like these Brisket Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
As much as I love a grilled cheese sandwich, I’ll take a plate of loaded BBQ Nachos over just about anything. In my mind, BBQ Nachos are the best party food, finger food, appetizer, snack, main dish, lunch. I’ll eat them any time of day for any meal. Even breakfast.
But honestly, is there any more perfect food for game day? I don’t watch much football. OK, I don’t watch any football. But I’m not opposed to helping other people stay well fed while they watch football.

The Brisket recipe I use for this makes the smokiest brisket, so tender and juicy. You’d never guess it was completely cooked in the oven.
You could also use pulled pork or pulled chicken for this recipe, but I’m telling you this brisket can’t be beat.
The brisket has been cooked in a sweet and a little spicy BBQ Sauce and I love how it tastes with some crunchy, salty tortilla chips. Add some gooey cheese, corn, sour cream, onion, cilantro, and jalapenos for out of this world nachos!
Use Cast Iron
These Cast Iron Servers are perfect for heating and serving nachos. The cast iron really retains heat well and will help the nachos stay warm until the last one gets eaten. A cast iron skillet also works well. If you don’t have cast iron, make the nachos on a rimmed baking sheet.
Add Lots Of Toppings
Not only does this nacho recipe make the perfect gameday spread or party appetizer, it is perfect to customize and you can add all your favorite toppings. Pinto beans, guacamole, queso, green onions, and jalapeno all work well.
Recipe Tips
- Don’t use thin tortilla chips. You want a really sturdy tortilla chip so the weight of the toppings doesn’t break the chips.
- Use your favorite BBQ Sauce. I like one that is fairly thick, sweet and tangy like Sweet Baby Ray’s.
