Actor Jenna Ortega is gearing up for a pretty big week. You’ve probably caught her in Netflix’s Wednesday series, where she plays the titular character Wednesday Addams. But her latest movie Klara and the Sun is hitting theaters on October 23. She stars alongside Amy Adams, Natasha Lyonne and Steve Buscemi in the adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2021 bestselling book.
And if you want to go see Klara and the Sun at the movie theater, might I suggest you try out Jenna Ortega’s favorite movie snack? If you like spicy foods, I bet you’ll love this unique spin on popcorn.
What is Jenna Ortega’s favorite snack?
According to an interview with the Today show, Jenna Ortega loves all things spicy. In fact, the spicier the better—there’s not really a limit to the amount of spice she can handle. And when put to the test, this appears to be true. She was one of the calmest celebrities to ever appear on the hit web series Hot Ones. Even as the hot sauces got spicier and spicier, she never flinched!
So it makes sense that her favorite snack also brings the spice. “I love popcorn,” she said in the interview. “I’ll dip popcorn in jalapeno juice or I’ll put jalapenos in my popcorn.”
While I am kind of a baby when it comes to spicy food, I do find her snack intriguing. And honestly, thinking about adding jalapenos to popcorn made me think that I should give popcorn nachos a try. Piling a tray of popcorn with all the classic nacho fixings—like pico de gallo, guacamole and tons of shredded cheese—sounds delicious. I’m sure that Jenna will probably add more jalapenos to her serving than I would, but it does feel like an excellent snack. Maybe a bit messy for the movie theater, but incredible to try at home!
