One Nacho to Rule Them All

In the land of snacks where the cheese melts lie, one nacho rises above them all. Forged in the ovens of questionable culinary judgment, topped with fiery peppers from the deepest mines of spice, and layered with toppings as numerous as Elvish names for “leaf.”

Yes, it’s Tolkien Reading Day. And while others may celebrate by dusting off their hardcovers and attempting to pronounce “Eärendil” correctly, we’re honoring the occasion with a platter of epic proportions: Lord of the Nachos.

Start with a base of dark, hearty blue corn chips—mysterious and dramatic, like a ranger in the corner of the tavern. Add molten cheese, cascading like the fires of Mount Doom. Scatter seasoned ground beef like orcs across the battlefield. Then come the enchanted extras: elven guacamole, dwarven bean spread, and at the center—the One Ring: a lone jalapeño slice, blazing green and dangerously spicy. A ring of power no snack-lover can resist. Whoever eats it shall be known as the Snack-Bearer, and also probably require a glass of milk.

Of course, the journey to the center of the nachos is perilous. You may lose friends. You may burn your tongue. You may question your life choices. But you will also achieve greatness.

Because today, we don’t simply read Tolkien. We eat like hobbits after second breakfast.
