Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

On a baking sheet, lay out your chips in a thin, one-chip layer.

Step 3

Drizzle the warm queso sauce over the chips and make it a heavy drizzle (reserve one spoonful for your plate)

Step 4

Follow with layers of pulled pork, refried black beans, corn, jalapeños, shredded cheese, and bbq sauce.

Step 5

Place nachos in the oven for 5-7 minutes until shredded cheese melts.

Step 6

While the nachos are heating, spoon the remaining queso sauce on your serving plate. You want to form a sticky base for your nachos to rest on.

Step 7

Place your can on the plate over the cheese circle.

Step 8

Remove the nachos from the oven and using a spatula, layer the baked nachos into the can nearly all the way to the top.

Step 9

Garnish the top with more corn and black beans, some pico de gallo, jalapeños, bbq sauce, crema, green onions and cilantro.

Step 10

Lift the can to reveal your stack of Trash Can Nachos and enjoy!
