(hip hop music)
- And just so you know, we couldn't have these,
this was a no-no.
But this here definitely made me king
of the camping grounds if I'd a had this joint right here.
(knife swishes)
(clock ticks)
So what we gonna do today,
it's gonna be a little bit unique.
I know a lot of you guys is concerned
about the little hiatus I was on.
Let me break it down for you:
I went on a very, very extensive camping trip,
so to say.
(door slams)
So with that being said,
I met a lot of guys who actually proceeded me.
I had to acquire a few lessons from these men.
And one thing that they taught me
is definitely how to prepare a meal
with very, very minimal resource.
So with that being said, today we gonna do a nacho bowl.
(upbeat music)
So first I want to start by just breaking up the meat
that we have.
(glass clinks)
I gonna kind of like...
We don't want the meat to be too chunky.
(clock ticks)
But then again, you don't want it to be minced.
So you just wanna move it around a little bit.
So I'm gonna move this pink salmon around a little bit.
And if I might add, it's not a lot of healthy selections.
So when we do get
something that can actually help you
acquire a nice protein intake,
we want to try to get as much as you can.
So now this part,
(upbeat music)
You wanna kind of cut this up into nice pieces
so that you can kinda like, you know,
move it around a little bit
once you get the ingredients set up.
(clock ticks)
You know, you just want to make nice little slices.
So now, what you do with the little pieces,
or the slices, you call cutting into other little slices.
Just kinda you wanna dice the meat up.
For our seasoning,
didn't have a wide selection to season,
you know what I'm saying,
so what we would do, once again on this trip.
(door slams)
Something just beep?
(plastic rustles)
Okay, I think that's the fire alarm.
See, I'm now have flashbacks to like keys jingling,
like, you know,
every now and then, used to hear keys jingling,
and it kind of puts you on point.
But in this case, alhamdulillah, I'm home.
So- (fire alarm beeps)
There we is. That's the fire alarm.
So what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna actually take the chicken flavor
and I'm going to season the-
(man grunts)
The albacore tuna.
So the albacore tuna is going to have chicken flavor.
(clock ticks)
Saying, don't nobody heart out their chest,
'cause this stuff here is powerful.
(fire alarm beeps)
And then, for the pink salmon I'm gonna use the beef flavor.
So you take this-
(clock ticks)
Sprinkle this around.
So I'm gonna mix this around
with that beef flavor up in there.
(clock ticks)
Same thing with the albacore tuna.
So you gotta have some vegetables.
Without vegetables this meal was completely just forbidden.
It's just hot on.
It's part of luck.
But, if you put some kind of nutrients in it,
you know what I'm saying,
it'd just change the whole dynamic of the meal.
(knife thunks)
In this case, we just want to do a half a onion.
(knife thunks)
So, of course-
(clock ticks)
Cutting up the onion can actually make you tear up
or your nose running, something like that.
So just to forewarn you: I've been tested. I'm negative.
So if you see tears coming down my face
or my nose running, it's not COVID, it's just the onion.
So I don't want anybody to clear, it's just the onion.
(knife thunks)
So with the jalapeno cheese,
the key to this is, now, if you have access to a microwave,
like we did, some spots.
(container sputters)
So we want to take this whole whiz cheese right there.
It's definitely a lot of cheese.
(glass clatters)
Pop that in there.
(microwave beeps)
(clock ticks)
Maybe a minute'll do.
No more need for this.
(microwave beeps)
No more need for none of the other stuff.
So now cheese is hot,
(glass clatters)
sizzling I might add.
So you wanna stir this around.
(clock ticks)
Look a whole lot different than it did
when it was in that squeeze bottle, right?
Now that sauce.
This is for flavor.
I know this sound like
this ain't going in the right direction,
but trust me.
When it's all said and done,
I remember the first time I ate chicken and waffles,
thought that was strange.
(clock ticks)
I remember the first time I ate calamari,
found out it was squid.
So sometimes, you know,
you experiment with things,
that as it starts to come together,
it start making sense.
It's kinda like an artist when he's painting the picture.
(brush swooshes)
You see lines, you see certain things,
but once you start adding color,
you know what I'm saying,
things started to come together.
Now we can start putting together the nacho bowl.
So this becomes the attraction.
This becomes the grand finale.
You got to have this super big bowl,
big as you can get it.
You want to start dressing it up
so that everything starts to make sense.
So what I like to do,
kind of layer it to the bottom of the bowl.
(clock ticks)
You want to make sure you're creating your foundation.
Then you want to throw in, know what I'm saying,
a little meats, a little meat here.
(clock ticks)
Throw a little bit of the tuna,
I mean the pink salmon in there.
Get a little bit of your tuna.
Jalapeno or two.
(clock ticks)
Sprinkle a little onion,
not a lot.
A little bit of the cheese.
(clock ticks)
(dish clinks)
As you can see, we got our first layer done.
We basically gonna repeat the same process.
So you want to hide-
(clock ticks)
All of that prettiness
that we just established on the first layer.
And then we're back to the cheese.
For the last and final layer...
Ain't gonna make sure you don't see nothing,
'cause that's a surprise.
And, like, that's how you know the real layer.
This right here
(dish scrapes)
meant a whole lot.
(upbeat music)
Especially play all the times,
championship, fight night.
(bell dings)
You name it.
This might be the only night you drink a soda,
just a real unhealthy moment, but it's fun.
And basically, with no further delay, you have nacho bowl.
(crowd cheers)
(alarm rings)
From a place many of you just don't want to go.
(door slams)
So, everybody, this is Amir's nacho bowl, basically.
(chip crunches)
It's a cheat day, so I can get away with this.
But normally I probably make this for you.
I would love to see you make your nacho bowl
and tag me @realloon2amir
on Instagram and tag BET.
I'm looking forward to seeing
what your nacho bowl look like.
