Begin layering sweet potatoes on the outer edges, overlapping the previous slices in a circular pattern until you have filled the outer and inner spaces.
Add onions, jalapenos on top, and season with salt.
Place the skillet on the grill and cook for 10 minutes.
Next, add the baked beans. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Combine pulled pork with apple juice and place on top of beans.

Serving:

Using heat-resistant gloves, carefully remove the skillet pulled pork nachos from the grill. Set aside.
Prepare the sauce mixture by combining buttermilk with barbecue sauce. Place the sauce in a condiment bottle for easier application.
Drizzle sauce over the nachos, then top with coleslaw and serve.
If you’d like cheese on the pulled pork nachos, do so while it’s still on the grill. Just place it right on top of the pork. I recommend pepper jack, smoked gouda, white cheddar, or cotija cheese.

Tips

Regular potatoes: Use plain potatoes instead of sweet potatoes for this recipe. I recommend medium-sized russets or yukon gold. Follow the instructions above for assembling.

Make it Tex-Mex! Replace the coleslaw on these pulled pork sweet potato nachos with queso and chopped jalapenos. So good!
