You Deserve to Make Nachoritos Today
May this day be blessed, and happy April 20th to all of you. Like many of you, I’ve spent some time on the Internet while high and hungry . And while I’ve come up with some really great appetizer innovations, /u/Vainquisher redditor may have outdone my best efforts by posting absolute bullshit last week when they suggested eating nachos off the tortilla so you could make a burrito with leftovers .
Combining the endless loop of tacos with the ” putting chips in things ” resurgence, eating nachos from a tortilla is a serious contender for peak food for stoners.
Like all the best alcoholic dishes, this is one of the best microwaved dishes: melted cheese is widely represented, chips appear, and there is a surprise burrito at the end if you have smoked yourself to a short-term memory loss. No grill, oven or stovetop required. Simply spread the chips on the tortilla, top with your favorite nacho toppings, and toast the whole thing until it’s warm and melted. (Seriously, this snack requires very little effort to make, and even less to clean up.)
After eating a few of them, you’ll probably become savvy enough that you don’t even need a plate downstairs. Damn, you could have had one more tortilla. And it’s incredibly flexible; I know you know that nachos don’t have to be just chips and cheese, but if you need some inspiration, I have something:
- Any leftover protein from a takeaway dinner that you would heat up anyway? Now it’s nachos. Everyone cheers for the chicken and nachorito waffles. This is a judgment-free zone.
- As I discovered this weekend, Chicken 65 makes really good nachoritos.
- If you’re planning wakes and baking, all you need is some bacon cheese sauce , an egg, and a hash brown nachorito.
- And speaking of breakfast, you’re not too far from a big crispy bun full of migas , using the basic ingredients here.
When you’re high, it’s important to vary the texture and flavor, and this dish offers textural opposites in the salty crunch of the chips and the warm softness of the tortilla. What’s more, all the fat from the nachos will accumulate on your tortilla instead of being forgotten on your plate. As it sits, the chips soak it up and soften up a bit, making any stranglers perfect burrito food. (Imagine a walking taco where you eat a bag. With your face. That’s what we’re talking about here. Be sure to think about it while you’re high, it will make sense.)
So when you inevitably get tired of bringing one chip to your mouth responsibly and at a decent pace, roll up your second (or third) tonight and treat yourself to some nachoritos.
