N-n-n-n-n-achos!!!!!!!!

I love the cheese nachos I get in Mexican restaurants - its white cheese kind of hot. You can bean or such but I just like the cheese. Its way better than cheddar or Velveeta or any kind other cheese I've tried to melt.
My neighborhood grocery store has been bought out by a Mexican chain catering to immigrants, legal and otherwise that have moved into Gwinnett county Georgia.
I decided to venture into El Mercado Pueblo even though I usually drive 5 times as far to go to Kroger. I figured where else would I get better Mexican cheese for Nachos. I figured I coulds also see how English friendly and how American-hostile they were.
It was staffed with lots of pretty girls that were friendly enough - I never found one who could understand that I was asking for Farmer's cheese that already had Jalapenos in it. But they helped me find Queso Picante that at least looked like what I wanted.
But I couldn't find Nachos. I asked three different people. They didn't seem to understand "nacho." Thank goodness they didn't seem upset or insulted - a good thing because I got caught noticing how low a 20-something girls jeans were riding in back. But they seemed to regard that as a sign of good taste on my part.
So - does anybody know how to say "Nacho" in Mexican. I still want my cheese nachos.
BTW, I’d also be happy to get a good recipe for Mexican cheese nachos, whether I ever find out how to say it Mexican or not.
I wish I had an answer. Queso de patatas fritas?
The headline made me LOL.
N-n-n-n-n-achos!!!!!!!!
Say “Que es puta?” ...
Part of the problem you are facing is that Nachos is actually an American food, not a Mexican one. They are served in Mexican restaurants here because it’s expected. Kinda like Chop Suey... not Chinese, but American.
A mother sent her son to the next aisle to get some nacho cheese. He came back knowing he had accomplished his mission because when he grabbed it from someone else’s basket, the man yelled, “Hey! That’s nacho cheese”.
Lol. Well considering that “nachos” is a word that is of Mexican/spanish in origin I would say you would say it...
Nachos.
Did say there were ladies working there.
“Cliente’ Numero 9 “
Only American women consider it sexist-bigoted and grounds for a lawsuit.
European women take it as a flattering compliment.
One of the FEW things I regard Euros as superior to us - flirting.
Chips con queso?
Buy yourself some Pepper Jack cheese, and chunk it up and melt it with a little milk in a pan on the stove, or in your micro...but stir it the entire time it’s melting!
(Which means STOPPING the micro ever minute or so to stir...I don’t recommend getting INTO the microwave oven.)
Also buy yourself some “Restaurant Style” chips in white corn, yellow corn or blue corn and knock yourself out. :)
And your Fiesta (that means “party” in Spanish, not ‘Mexican’) starts...what time?
I’ll bring the cervesa (which is “beer” in Spanish, not ‘Mexican’) and the frijoles (which are “beans” in Spanish, not ‘’Mexican.’)
Ole! :) (Which means “Uh-RAH” in Marine-Speak.)
Wow. I’m a chick, but I must say that THOSE are some AMAZING nachos!
You realize this thread is going nowhere but down, right? ;)
Michael: “Banana daiquiri.”
Usted tiene un hermoso detrás
On the contrary, this thread is looking “up”...
What was the thing about Nachos? “Betcha can’t eat just one”?
Years ago, before she passed, my wife and I went to Mazatlan.
After about three days, she was “rice and beans... rice and beans... if I see any more rice and beans, I’m gonna puke!”
So the next morning at breakfast, she tried to order French Toast.
They didn’t have a clue, so we explained it to them as best we could.
They brought her slices of toast with scrambled eggs piled on top.
Nice try, but something got lost in the translation. (BTW, she was livid! There was a pile of rice and a pile of beans on the plate!)
Don’t mind me. I’m just browsing.

*Rolleyes*
You’ve never seen me in my Green Bay Packer Cheese Bra. I put her to SHAME, LOL!
However, with Brett gone, life just ain’t worth living...until NEXT season that is, LOL!
1 c Asadero cheese; shredded
4 oz Jalapenos, chopped;
-drained, OR
4 oz Poblanos, deveined &
-julienned
1/4 c Half & half
2 T Onion; finely chopped
2 ts Cumin, ground
1/2 ts Salt
Heat all ingredients over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted. Serve warm with tostaditas.
There’s no such thing. Nachos were invented in Texas. And Chimichangas right here in Tucson. And until recently all the Corona sold in America was brewed by Budweiser. Remember these things come Cinco De Mayo so you can celebrate the holiday in the “proper” Mexican way.
>>Part of the problem you are facing is that Nachos is actually an American food, not a Mexican one. They are served in Mexican restaurants here because it’s expected. Kinda like Chop Suey... not Chinese, but American.<<
Aha. Sadly, that makes perfect sense.
LOL
>>Forget the nachos. Report and deport.

I tried - none of the recipes seemed to use Mexican cheese (like I’m assuming my Mexican restaurant uses)
No, I confess I haven’t seen your cheesy-bra! LOL!
Oh, I’m sure you’ll find some lucky guy to make it worth his while...
>>Don’t mind me. I’m just browsing.<<
I would have thought that if any Freeper knew the answer...
You do know that there are actual legal former Mexicans living in this country running restaurants.

Thank you. Thank you.
“Asadero cheese”
Do you know if this is a type of Mexican cheese?
>>Poblanos, deveined<<
Hopefully this is some type of vegetable or pepper
Oh, I have a perfectly wonderful Husband. But he has a “Man Crush” on Brett too, LOL!
Who doesn’t in this state? ;)
Uno orden Nachos el con queso blanco por y quatro carte blanco cervezas por favor?
And if the waitress is hot: y una orden de su amor a ir.
Hell, I had to ask Babel fish for help...what can I say.

*sigh* Another sports-widow...

That’s very disillusioning.
GondramB... can you describe the type of cheese you like. Is it smooth and pourable, like a fondue or hollandaise sauce or is it thicker and more substantive like melted mozzarella on a pizza?
Also, is it the color of cheddar (orange), or light like Monterey Jack cheese? If light, is it crumbly or smooth?
Okay. I'll shut up now.
This might be the best way to ask for the cheese

This is a good brand of asadero.Poblano is a mild chile pepper.Most of the Mexican markets will have these items.
Their name is, I mean her name is Salma, not Selma.
Those ARE amazing nachos, some how I can’t get past the image of dipping them in salsa...
A Mexican family had just arrived in Texas and was having trouble find work. He had looked all day for a job but hadn't found one and his family was hungry.
In desperation he decided to talk to God about it. He knelt down by a large tree and began to pray.
In a few minutes a big wheel of cheese came rolling down and hit the tree. He grabbed it and ran home.
When he got there he told his wife he wanted nachos for supper. She was surprised and asked if maybe he would rather have cheese enchiladas?
No, he said, the Lord told me to make it into nachos. As I was running home I could hear the Lords voice coming from above. He kept saying “it's not yo cheese, it's not yo cheese”. And that sir, is the way to pronounce nachos.
It’s funny. BTW the last one (Budweiser making Corona) is why Cinco De Mayo is such a big thing here, they were having a hard time selling Corona and went looking for an occasion they could push and found an obscure Mexican holiday that nobody in Mexico actually cared about. And people in Mexico still don’t really care about the holiday.
As for nachos you’re probably looking at a cheddar/ jack blend. There really isn’t much in the way of “Mexican” cheese, though they do have some good goat cheeses down there. Really any good combo of cheese and some peppers with milk or vegetable oil to make it go smooth when you melt it and you’re good. Or just get the jars from Tostidos, pretty good nacho cheese. If you have a Linens N Things near you they have a mini-crock pot that perfectly holds the contents of one Tostidos jar, takes about half an hour to warm it up but man does it taste good.
When mine was still worth looking at (before the 2 kids) I didn’t get upset if someone looked. If they touched without being invited to, they left with a black eye.
If it is packaged for display, then one may look; but touching is only for when you intent to purchase the product. (That’s nacho jeans);-)
Oops, You’re right.
