Federal Police arrested a man trying to re-enter the U.S. from Mexico with 7lbs. of meth submerged inside cans of nacho cheese and Jalapeños.

The 21 year-old Mexican citizen had told agents at the San Ysidro border crossing in San Diego County, that he was returning to the U.S. after grocery shopping in Mexico. 

Who knew that nacho cheese jalapeño’s came mixed with meth and available at your local Mexican grocery store.

Police thought the cans seemed rather heavy and screened them with an x-ray machine, which lead them to find $140,000 worth of methamphetamines stuffed inside the nacho-fixing cans.

Police seized the cans as well as the offender’s vehicle, a 1999 Toyota Solara.
