Nachos are believed to have arisen at the source of nachos
Not surprisingly, nachos appeared in Mexico. Piedras Negras, a small town in Northern Mexico, has the exact origins. Eagle Pass, Texas, is just across the border from the town. Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, the restaurant's owner, invented the delectable dish in 1943. What is surprising is that he invented nachos for Americans!
While in town, Ignacio had to make a quick snack for some US military wives. He quickly fried some tortillas and topped them with warm cheese and jalapenos. "Nacho's special" was answered when asked what to call the dish, Ignacio replied, "Nacho's special."
Nachos became a hit in Texas before spreading to the entire Southwest United States. The popularity of nachos among the Texas Rangers baseball team began to sell them at Arlington Stadium in the 1970s. Today, nachos are served at stadiums, restaurants, and bars around the world.
Some countries even have their own special version of nachos. They also have nachos with jerk pork in Jamaica. The Greeks substituted pita chips for the tortilla chips and topped them with feta cheese, cucumber, red onion, and tzatziki sauce. With toasted naan bread and topped with curry powder and mozzarella cheese, Indian nachos can be made.
