Why shredded veal or pulled veal?

Veal is a great nacho topper. Not to mention, it packs so much flavor in each nacho bite. It pairs so well with the BBQ sauce and each topping you choose to throw on. The best part about these nachos is that you can make them your own. Add any toppings that you like the best.

Veal cooks very fast, and this is no different in the slow cooker. Cook the veal stew meat about 3 hours on high or 5-6 on low, it comes out fork tender and is easily shredded. Don’t be intimated if this is your first time cooking with veal! Its just as easy as other proteins and is delicious too.

Some simple tips

You can sear the meat to give you even better flavor! Start by searing the stew meat before you throw it in the slow cooker. After topping the tortilla chips with the shredded veal, beans, and cheese, place them in the oven to melt the cheese. You can even do this with the veal, beans, and cheese before putting it on the warmed chips to avoid sogginess.
