Macho Nachos, Bachelor Style
inexpensive, quick & easy, microwave cheater, Macho Nachos for one.
Mats:
- bag of tortilla chips (I like the restaurant style ones from Tostitos)
- can of chili (beef and beans, YUM! I use Campbell’s Chunky Chili, Hot and Spicy)
- jar of salsa (I use the President’s Choice Extra Chunky, Hot)
- optional, Taco sauce (I like President’s Choice brand)
- bag of Kraft Tex-Mex shredded cheese blend (if you can find a better brand for cheap, let me know)
- jar of sliced jalapenos
- jar of sliced kalamata olives
Crafting:
Heat half the can of chili in the microwave as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Set aside. Put the rest of the can in the fridge (covered, dufus!) for use with tomorrow’s nachos… or for snackage later. In a microwavable bowl (not metal!), put about a cup of the salsa (a blob about 1/2 to 3/4s the size of your fist, depending on how big your hands are) mixed with about 3 generous tablespoons (3 bloops from a large necked bottle, about 9 shakes from a thin necked bottle) of the taco sauce and mix with a non-dirty utensil, spoons are good for this. Good idea to cover the bowl with some plastic wrap (or a paper plate), with a slit in the middle, because salsa likes to dance in the microwave. In my bachelor-sized microwave it only takes about two minutes, your milage may vary. If you hear it being really noisy, turn off the microwave! Set aside. On a microwavable plate (paper plates work), spread out a good handful or two of the tortilla chips. Nuke’em for about 2 minutes (varying for size and wattage of your nuker). Spread over them the chili and salsa, then some jalapeno and olive slices. Now sprinkle a handful or so of the shredded cheese over everything. BACK in the microwave for about a minute or so, or until things start to pop or the cheese looks melty. Melty Cheese is optimum.
Use:
Put it in your face for much health regeneration. Gives +500 AP to flatulence, increases Happy by 10 per 5 sec, but reduces rep with all females in the vicinity (who are we kidding? we’re bachelors!) by -2500.
