Recipe Introduction

Nachos are a popular Mexican dish that can be served as a snack, appetizer, or the main course. The perfect recipe for nachos includes a huge plate of stacked tortilla chips topped with lots of melted cheese, salsa, sour cream, jalapenos, and guacamole! Nachos originate from the city of Piedras Negras, Mexico. On night in 1943, the wives of ten U.S. soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan arrived at a restaurant called Victory Club after it had already closed for the evening. Restaurant employee Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya quickly put together whatever he had left in the kitchen for the women, calling them "Nachos Especiales." Word about this tasty treat quickly spread throughout Mexico and Texas. Anaya went on to open his own nacho restaurant and his original nacho recipe was printed in St. Anne's Cookbook in 1954. Celebrate National Nachos Day by having a big plate stacked high of delicious nachos. You can use Anaya's original recipe or head to your local Mexican restaurant. Enjoy!
