Death by Nachos: Because You Can’t Take Cheese With You

Life is short, and nachos are shorter. So on Memento Mori Day, let’s embrace our fleeting existence with a nacho platter so over-the-top it’s practically a farewell party for your arteries. This isn’t just food; it’s a life lesson, layered in cheese.

Here’s how to craft the nacho platter to end all nacho platters:

1. Chips:
Start with a mountain of tortilla chips. Not a pile. A mountain. Build it high enough to make you wonder if you need an oxygen mask to reach the top. Thin chips are not welcome here—this is nacho Everest.

2. Cheese:
Not one type. Not two. Three cheeses minimum. Melt them together into a gooey lava flow of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso fresco. Let it cascade over the chips like your better judgment going out the window.

3. The Toppings:

• Pulled pork: Because you deserve it.
• Ground beef: Because you really deserve it.
• Bacon crumbles: Because, at this point, why not?
• Black beans and corn: To pretend you’re being responsible.
• Sliced jalapeños: For a spicy reminder that life is pain.
• Guacamole and sour cream: Applied with reckless abandon, because the afterlife doesn’t count calories.

4. The Garnish:
A sprinkle of cilantro and a dusting of smoked paprika—because even chaos deserves a finishing touch.

This Memento Mori Day, let these nachos remind you of life’s most important truths: that nothing lasts forever, and that cheese is worth every fleeting second. So grab a fork, dig in, and savor every overindulgent bite—because tomorrow is never guaranteed, but nachos today are a sure thing.
