Friday night's dinner of pochachoes was so terribly low-brow that I wasn't even going to post about it. Of course I took pictures of it, but then felt that no-one would possibly be interested and decided not to blog it. But after I mentioned it in my previous post, and on Facebook, people kept asking me, "What are pochachoes?"
So here goes. Let's just not tell the cool kids, ok?
Drumroll please....
Pochachoes = NACHOES + but with POTATO WEDGES instead of corn chips.
*Ta Dah!*
I got the idea when Sandra & I went for dinner at Taco Bill a couple of months ago, (again, let's not tell the cool kids!), and I saw "Pochachoes" on the menu. I was most intrigued, but it seemed just a bit too heavy as a starter, especially with enchiladas to follow!
Finally on Friday night I satisfied my pochacho curiosity.
Oven-baked wedges... covered in grated cheese...
And on the side... sour cream, hot salsa and 1/2 a muushed up avocado.
It was really, really delicious. Pocha....choes!

You are correct this isn't a flashy dish. However I am sure it tastes great. We all need little gems like this in our cooking repertoire for nights in front of the TV with a DVD on.
ReplyDeletesomething that I need now. lazy couch tele day.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! And I may be in the minority, but sometimes I think I love seeing "low-brow" dishes on blogs more than the epic, awe-inspiring dishes.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me feel better, in the way those "Stars: They're Just Like You!" tabloid shots of celebrities getting petrol never manage to do...
Pochachoes! I like it!
ReplyDeleteOh they have a name!! We make these sometimes when we seriously can't be bothered and wanting something tasty.
ReplyDeleteI usually do them with roast potato or even just plain chips. The good bits are the toppings and at home you don't have to skimp hehe :-D
oh GENIUS idea!! anything mexican is a winner for me!
ReplyDeleteTotal genius :D
ReplyDeleteThat is the BEST idea EVER.
ReplyDeleteyay for all that cheese. You could almost do a quattro formaggi pochachoes! If you happen to do this...I expect an invite! :)
