November 6: Nachos


Nachos are an American classic that really can bring us back to our gut-teral roots. Crunchy, cheesy, fatty, meaty, warm, robust, cold contrast from condiments, and who doesn't have a recurring dream about plucking a tortilla crisp from the top of a nacho pile, cheese fighting to keep its cohabitant all to itself?

This set was fairly classic: A layer of tortilla chips with black beans, green chilies, and monterey jack cheese. A second layer of chips followed with italian sausage, more green chilies and cheese, and 'salsa autentica'. This was broiled in the oven until the cheese was browned and crispy. After the nachos were ready for their debut, they were topped with sour cream and avocados.

The perfect guilty pleasure for a fall Saturday. When do the Vols play?
