All this discussion on Tex-Mex food reminded me of one of our favorites here.
Nachos. There's a couple common ways they're served.
One is the bowl of chips with all the stuff you'd put on a taco or in a burrito, and that hot liquid/melted cheese.
Another is on a plate covered with tortilla chips, Doritos-- whatever you have.
Then cover it with the usual things, a layer of shredded cedar cheese and zap it in the microwave.
I used to make the quick kind for lunch at work once in awhile.
A buddy there was ethnic Mexican, English was his 2nd language, and I'd always trey to help him learn more.
Like how to cuss like a native, talk Ghetto, and tangle him up with pronouncing various other words.
One time at Lunch, he said, "Ahh,,, you're making nachos".
I told him, "No, these are my-nose, and definitly not-chos".
It took a minute for him to get it....
A couple weeks later, he cruised by at Lunch time and said, "Are you making my-nose again".
I told him, "No,,,, these are nachos. I'm sorry I didn't bring enough, so you'll have to get your own".
He started laughing and while walking away, asked, "Why do I even talk to you"?
