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.
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!
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.

did I miss a step? how do the chips with stuff get from the oven to being stacked on a plate or group dish?
You need to be a part of a contest for one of the highest quality websites on the web.
I’m going to recommend this web site!
Try this: substitute Kettle brand, Backyard BBQ potato chips for the tortilla chips and substitute sliced jalapeno peppers for the red onions. Trust me, this takes it to a whole new level!
Oh wow! I will have to try that. Love BBQ Potato Chips!
The only thing I like about football games is the food – would totally show up to watch a game if I got to have some of these!
I am definitely going to try this recipe and put it into the rotation. I usually make brisket tacos, hash and sandwiches with my leftovers. BTW, great photos!
Do I hate to share? Because I’m pretty sure I could inhale that whole stack of nachos! Delicious!
These nachos look amazing with the brisket, and these would be the perfect Game Day food!
Okay! I can’t believe how far you’ve taken that brisket…I’m in heaven! Now, I’m more convinced than ever that I need to make it – to go on and reap the enormous rewards! Your photos are delectable, by the way!
For breakfast it would be too much, but for lunch these nachos would be perfect 🙂
