Nacho Burgers (by Biggs)

I was charging through the city this week getting through a list of chores when two words on a sign caught my eye:

"Nacho Burgers"

Immediately I thought it was a great idea for a Tuesday. Then I decided it was a bit of a stretch for Tortilla Tuesday.....and also Tuesday was too far away for me wait to eat a Nacho Burger. I didn't exactly know what a Nacho Burger was but the research involved to find out was an absolute pleasure. I came across this guy who had some splendid things to say about them complete with photos....and a beard. 

I think G was a little disappointed with my recent half-arsed-avocado-dip-instead-of-guacamole effort so I thought I'd try a little harder tonight. I mashed a couple of avocados with some red onion, coriander, chilies and lime and it tasted quite excellent. While that was resting I fried off some patties and opened a jar of salsa. 

Next came the complex architectural feat of piling up corn chips and cheese to create a little gooey crunch for the burger. All went accordingly if not a little giant. 

Pile all these things into a bun and you've got yourself a nacho burger. Perfect for this rainy, sleepy, Friday night with a beer in hand. Genius.

I got more of this Nacho Burger up my nose than in my beard - happily I managed to get the majority of it into my mouth. It was unusual and delicious which are the two most important attributes for food.

I particularly like the rim of burnt cheese around the nachos. So tasty!
