Nachos for the steak and potato set


Super Fries
a.k.a. Carne Asada Fries

This beauty combines two of my favorite things: Nachos and Potatoes (preferably deep-fried potatoes). It's as simple as you might imagine. Prepare yourself for the typical Super Nacho toppings (Cheese, Salsa Fresca, Guacamole, Sour Cream, Cilantro and Carne Asada) but instead of chips, french fries.

Don't get me wrong, Nachos hold a dear dear place in my heart, these exceed Nachos in a couple of ways

First, because... well, it's potatoes! with nacho toppings!

and Second, there is no confusion as to the necessity of utensils. JW and I typically use a hybrid approach when setting into a styrofoam box of super nachos. Starting manually, and using our years of experience, we manipulate corn chips to put together the perfect bite. Towards the bottom of the box however, things get sloppy. We're not animals! We bring out the forks.

With the super fries... well, there is something about the simplicity of pulling that fork out right away. None of the anxiety associated with deciding when to switch strategies...

These babies are available at Los Betos and Nico's and probably any other Mexican Drive-Thru in Tucson.
