There are dinners that call for adventurous flavors, daring cooking techniques, or refined palate-pleasers. Then there are days you want both a boatful of nachos and a thick, meaty burger. Why not have both? Gooey cheese, dotted with spicy jalapeño and crunchy tortilla, tops a juicy beef patty, with taco-flavored taters on the side. Having both nachos and a burger for dinner isn't hoity-toity bon appétit-ness, but it is pure deliciousness.
