Review: JOSÉ OLÉ Nacho Bites

January 25, 2015 Dex Gormenghast
Spoiler Alert: These are about as much nachos as that kitten is, and that kitten is no nachos.

Sometimes you’re home alone. Sometimes you just want something hot and easy to cook. Sometimes you just want something cheesy and greasy. Sometimes you don’t, but when you do and want something nacho related while wandering around the frozen food section you may come across a consumable called “Nacho Bites”. Sure, nachos themselves are bite sized, but if you want something in a bag rather than actually making nachos, which would take about the same amount of time to put together and cook ultimately, there are these bad boys.

Nacho Bite, I think you mean Quesadilla Bite.

Nacho Bite, I think you mean Quesadilla Bite.

Hey, you know what you call a cooked corn wrap filled with nacho cheese, chicken, and I guess some spices? I don’t know, but you certainly don’t call it nachos. Is it a quesadilla with a corn based wrapping? Meh, I don’t know, but it’s certainly closer to that than nachos. Is it a Hot Pocket made with a chip pocket? Now you’re getting closer, but still, not nachos. Is it some kind of typical finger food that you wouldn’t describe as good because it’s tasty but you know so terrible for you? Yes, but under no circumstance is it nachos.

This picture isn't blurry, it's just that the insides can't be captured adequately by human technology.

Ultimately these things aren’t bad, if you’re in the mood for something crunchy, cheesy, and greasy at some sort of party or get together, but I would hope if you’re home alone you won’t be so sad as to sit there in front of your oven and wait for these things to cook. I get it, you’re lonely, you’re hungry, but have some dignity, you’re better than this. All that being said, these things aren’t bad if your only qualifications are (1) crunchy, (2) cheesy, and (3) greasy, but they’re not nachos by a long shot.

Nachonomics: ('na-cho-'na-miks)

noun. The branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and distribution of nachos.

Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge
Book: Complete Nacho Knowledge
$20.00

A copy of "The Field Guide to Nachos", "Nachos & You", and "Recipes from the Nachonomicon". This is literally and literately all the nacho knowledge you will ever require.

The Field Guide to Nachos, a pocket sized reference to the history, types, and background of the greatest of Mexican delicacies.

  • READ... The true story of how Ignacio Anaya created "The Nacho" in 1943.

  • LEARN... How nachos moved from Mexico and spread across America like shredded cheese melting across a pile of chips.

  • KNOW... the real difference between natural cheese versus pasteurized processed cheese product. It's terrifying.

  • DIFFERENTIATE... between kinds of popular nachos that are to be found in our modern restaurants.

Nachos & You, a pocket sized manual on, well, living your life the nacho way.

  • READ... The "true" story of how Gentleman Frank Liberto (Not to be confused with the upstanding Frank Liberto of Rico's or the Frank Liberto of Martin Luther King Jr. assassination infamy) created "The Nacho" in 1976. I say "true" because it is an obvious satire and parody.

  • LEARN... To pickle your own jalapenos for varying degrees of “fun” and “profit”, but more importantly bragging rights on being more artisinal than your friends.

  • KNOW... The science of creating nachos with circular chips as opposed to triangular chips and when to use each so as to not cause embarrassing cultural faux pas.

  • EXPERIENCE... The terror of “Nacho Fingers”, and the joy of curing yourself of them to avoid being ostracized by the community at large.

Recipes from the Nachonomicon, a pocket sized cookbook of all the finest types of nachos from throughout the ages, all now easily available at your fingertips.

  • READ... The History of the Nachonomicon and how it became the blueprint for all the nachos you know and love today!

  • LEARN... How to cook the finest examples of each member of the nacho family from "Artisanal" to "Single Serving." (There's no general type of nacho that begins with "Z" so that's as good as it gets alphabet wise, and I wouldn't want to trick you into thinking there was a type of called "ZBBQ Nachos" or something.)

  • KNOW... The joy that comes of making you, or a loved one, a delicious meal of nachos that will both satiate your hunger and allow you to know the true satisfaction of being able to provide the sustenance to keep a human being alive.

  • TASTE... Nachos, and lots of them, once you make them of course.

With these three books, you can feel secure in the knowledge that you'll be able to give a T.E.D. talk on every single aspect of nachos. Probably closer to three T.E.D. talks as a matter of fact! Do they even let you do that? I don't know, but with nacho knowledge like yours you will undoubtedly be the first!
