What are nachos... Nachos, in their simplest form, are usually tortilla chips covered in melted cheese. First created in 1943 by Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, the original nachos consisted of fried tortilla chips covered with melted cheese and jalapeño peppers. The first ballpark nachos were served at Arlington Stadium. The International Day of the Nacho is celebrated on October 19th with the International Nacho Festival held at Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. Nachos originated in the city of Piedras Negras, Coahuila in 1943 at a restaurant called Club Victoria. The traditional story is that one day the wives of several U.S. soldiers arrived after the restaurant had closed, so the waiter Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya invented a new dish for them with what little he had available in the kitchen: tortillas and cheese. Anaya cut the tortillas into triangles and fried them, then added yellow Wisconsin cheese. The women enjoyed the dish very much, so they asked for its name, to which Anaya quickly responded "Nachos especiales" — i.e., "Special Nachos" or possibly "Nacho's Special". A traditional variation consists of a quartered tostada topped with a layer of refried beans and/or various meats and a layer of shredded cheese. Processed cheese is often used in place of freshly shredded cheese in institutional or large-scale production settings, such as schools, movie theaters, sports venues, and convenience stores, or wherever using freshly grated cheese may be logistically prohibitive. Such processed cheese is referred to informally in the United States as "nacho cheese", though the term "nacho cheese" does not denote any particular variety of cheese. Common additional toppings include ground beef or chicken, jalapeño pepper slices, other spicy or mild peppers, onions, salsa, guacamole, refried beans, sour cream, lettuce and/or tomatoes, and olives. |
