Seismic Loaded Nachos
These nachos use crumbled roasted Seismic potato (50K SHU) as a topping instead of ground beef, and Verde Venom tomatillo salsa instead of jarred salsa. Two engineered organisms, zero peppers, and the heat comes from the produce itself.

Tips
- Tremor potatoes (1K SHU) for kids.
- The roasted potato crumbles add a texture that ground beef can't match.
Roasting at 425°F (218°C) drives off surface moisture through the Maillard reaction while capsaicin remains intact — it doesn't degrade until 200°C+ in pure form and is protected by the potato's cellular matrix.
