Blessed be this day, and a good April Twentieth to you all. Like many of you, I’ve spent some time on the internet while high and hungry. And while I’ve come up with some truly great innovations when dealing with the munchies, redditor /u/Vainquisher may have bested all of my efforts, posting an absolute banger last week when they suggested eating your nachos off of a tortilla so you can make a burrito with the leftovers.
Combining the infinite taco loop with the resurgence of “putting chips in things,” eating your nachos out of a tortilla is a heavy contender for peak stoner food.
Like all of the best inebriated meals, it is one best microwaved: melted cheese is heavily featured, chips make an appearance, and there is a surprise burrito awaiting you at the end if you’ve smoked yourself into some short-term memory loss. There is no need for a broiler, oven, or stovetop. Just pile your chips atop a tortilla, put your favorite nacho fixings on top of the chips, and nuke it all until warm and melty. (Seriously, making this snack requires very little effort, and even less for cleanup.)
After eating a few of these, you’ll probably be skilled enough that you won’t even need a plate underneath. Hell, you could just eat over yet another tortilla. And it’s incredibly flexible; I know you know that nachos don’t have to be just chips and cheese, but in case you need inspiration, I happen to have some:
Any leftover protein from takeout night that you’d reheat anyway? It’s nachos now. All hail the chicken and waffle nachorito. This is a judgment free zone. As I discovered this weekend, Chicken 65 makes a really good nachorito. If you’re planning on a wake & bake, you’re only a little cheese sauce away from a bacon, egg, and hash brown nachorito. And speaking of breakfast, you’re not too far off from a big crunchy roll full of migas using the basic ingredients here.When eating while high, it’s important to vary your textures and much as your flavors, and this meal offers textural opposites in the salty crunch of the chips and warm softness of the tortilla. Even better, all of the fat and grease from the nachos will pool on your tortilla instead of being forgotten on your plate. As it sits, the chips soak it up and soften a bit, making any strangglers perfect burrito fodder as well. (Imagine a walking taco where you get to eat the bag. With your face. That’s what we’re talking about here. Make sure to think about this while you’re high, it will make sense.)
So when you inevitably tire from responsibly lifting a single chip to your mouth at a time and at a respectable pace, roll up a second (or third) thing today, and treat yourself to a nachorito.
