Cowboy Nachos
This sumptuous, delicate dish is surprisingly easy to make and the perfect meal to prepare for the set-up crew in the days leading up to that event north of Reno.
Inspired by the rolling Alsatian hills of my childhood with a nod to Marfa, TX I present to you Cowboy Nachos.
Take a bag of Fritos ™, place on paper plate, slice bag down middle with appropriate Leatherman implment, pour heated chili over top.
Serve!
Serves 1 – Chili that passes the Dennison Test preferred.
Goes well with Playa Dust

This will be my 14th consecutive burn and the first one where I don’t have to worrry about or prepare food. I’m an organic vegetarian, a total food snob, and I go all out for BM. Usually I prepare meals for four days and freeze them in tupperware. Then I take that out of the fridge/cooler at BM and leave it in the sun – and by dinner time it’s just a short heat for a pre-cooked meal. I’ve done a lot of spicy food – Indian, Mexican.
This year – however, a friend of mine working at Gastronaut got me hooked up with Playa Provisions (http://bit.ly/kvHKNN). Gourmet, organic food prepared by ex-Google chefs! As long as you have someone to pick up the food in San Francisco – they take all the work out of BM food. Full fare is offered, both carnivorous and vegetarian, and it’s made and then frozen into a bag which you just drop in boiling water to unfreeze, then cut open to eat (like TastyBites – only ridiculously better). I’m excited to try it out – I’d much rather give them money than the giant corporate non-burner owned companies that make the ingredients of Cowboy Nachos. 😛 😉 Nice post though!
Zoe,
Have a great Burn! Thanks for the info. Yeah I’ve checked Playa Provisions out before – looks interesting – the place I camp once the event begins all the meals are pre playa-homemade vacuum sealed awesome whole food ingredient meals – the cowboy nachos are just a simple meal before the kitchen is set up for the Early Arrival Crew in Bumblepuss, Nectar Village. Annie’s Vegan Chili over some yucca chips works to… (once or twice a year I get a hanker’in for Fritos I just can’t resist, shhh don’t tell anyone!)
