Buffalo Wings Texas Nachos

I’m back on fatty food with no apologies. Because if there is one thing I excel at in the kitchen, it’s finding balance. After last week’s light and healthy fish tacos, I’m going all in with fried buffalo wings, lots of cheese and some kicked-in heat with jalapenos and Sriracha.

I’m all about mash-ups, so this bar food meets comfort food has been a huge hit in our home. Except if your name is Naomi and you have an aversion to biting into food.

How wierd is that? Nope, she won’t even do corn on the cob. So naturally, Cole and I had to poke some fun at her as we sank our teeth into each wing, while she used a fork and knife and took twice as long to reach for seconds.

Lucky for her, we are generous boys. We left her the anemic looking ones. Not because we wanted to make a point, but because we figured a fork and knife put her at an advantage of having more pliability than our side-to-side teeth-tearing.

Right? It makes total sense to me.

So however you eat your wings, don’t forget to do it Texas Nachos style next time. It’s like nachos with added heft and wings without the tears and a lot of cheesey goodness.

Yield: 6-8

    Wow! What a fabulous, indulgent meal!

  • Liz @ FloatingKitchen

    This is an awesome recipe mash-up! Love it. And now Naomi is the second person I know with an aversion to biting into things. I have a friend that won’t eat anything off a bone, stick, you name it. So strange! That’s ok – more for me!

  • Zainab

    Hahah poor Naomi is outnumbered by her boys on this. I do love biting into my wings though and love the flavors you have on these!! Can’t wait to try them!

    Woah! This is one of the most amazing mash-ups I have ever seen… cheese makes everything 10x better. Yum!! Pinned!

  • Erin @ MouthfulBlog.com

    That is hilarious! I have never heard of anyone having an aversion to biting into food! So interesting! She probably eats a lot more proper than all of us! Also, these wings got me really excited for football season!

    Oh.Mah.Gawd! LOVE.LOVE.LOVE this mash up, Matt! These wing Nachos are serious buisness and totally belong up in my belly! I’m looking at the recipe and thinking, “that serves ONE person…right?!?” 😀 Totally pinned!! Side note- I’m like Naomi when I’m at a restaurant… dainty with my eating. However, in the privacy of my own home? I’m far less lady like…normally food ends up in my hair. Lol. Cheers, buddy!

    You’re evil, just evil… 😉

  • Tutti Dolci

    Bring on the nachos, these look too good!

  • Haha – poor Naomi – maybe next time she will have y’all eat cake with chopsticks? 😉
    This looks so darn good, Matt!

  • That would be a perfect appetizer for TGIF. Don’t apologize we love your ‘fatty’ food recipes 🙂 I am weird also and don’t bite certain food like fruits, I have to cut them up, and I have to eat wings with a fork and knife. 🙂

  • I’m such a sucker for nachos. Maybe it’s because it goes so freakin well with adult beverages. These look awesome.

  • Nope, definitely no reason to apologize for these wonderful wings!

    Haha, my mother-in-law is just like Naomi. She always eats with a knife and fork in hand, even wings!
