Releasing My Inner “Culinary Adventurer”

Wednesday, December 2, 2009

I have decided that you can make nachos using any ingredient. For example...today I was having trouble deciding whether I was in the mood for some Mexican or some Greek-style food. My solution? Spread store-bought tortilla chips on a plate, sprinkle with shredded cheese (I happened to have colby jack blend), top with cooked, crumbled/cubed Mushroom Lover’s Veggie Burgers from Morningstar Farm, microwave for one minute, top with lettuce, Greek dressing and Feta. I wonder about combining Nachos and Chinese food...hmmm. See? Never a dull moment in the world of nacho exloration.

My next foray may well be into the world of dessert nachos. Think: cinnamon baked flour tortillas, roasted apples, caramel, topped with Marcapone cheese and sprinkled with pecans...I may even start a restaurant like Simply Crepes or the Melting Pot but it will be ALL about Nachos :) Although what you would call a restaurant like that...Nacho Average Restaurant? Tortilla Galleria? Holy Nachos, Batman? Oh, the possibilities! The real fun would be coming up with clever menu names. I can see it now (cue bad elevator-esque music and herald the angels).
