1. [1:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=84s) Cut the pork butt into equal-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, chipotle chili powder, and cumin.
2. [1:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=119s) Place the seasoned pork into a pressure cooker along with garlic cloves, half an onion, and the orange and lime juice mixture.
3. [2:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=147s) Seal the pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 45 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally for 20 to 25 minutes.
4. [3:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=216s) Sauté the diced onion and jalapeño in a cast-iron skillet with a splash of oil for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened, then set aside.
5. [4:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=258s) Prepare the white sauce by finely chopping cilantro and mixing it with sour cream, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, salt, pepper, milk, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
6. [5:52](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=352s) Warm the salsa con queso in a saucepan, seasoning it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and pickled jalapeño juice to loosen it.
7. [7:13](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=433s) Remove the cooked carnitas from the pressure cooker and shred them slightly.
8. [8:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=481s) Layer tortilla chips in the cast-iron skillet, then drizzle with the warm cheese sauce.
9. [8:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=508s) Sprinkle grated Monterey Jack cheese, some of the sautéed onions and jalapeños, and the shredded carnitas over the chips.
10. [8:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=530s) Create three small wells in the toppings, crack an egg into each well (optionally draining the runny whites first), and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
11. [9:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=590s) Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
12. [10:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-R-WTERGSI&t=605s) Garnish the baked nachos with the white sauce, remaining sautéed veggies, diced avocado, sliced green onions, and crushed chicharron before serving.
