The History of Nachos
Did you know that…?
Nachos, that delicious dish we all love, have a rather curious and accidental origin. It is said that they were invented in 1943 by Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya in Piedras Negras, Mexico. One day, some American ladies arrived at the restaurant where Nacho worked after the kitchen had closed. With the pantry almost empty, he improvised with what he had on hand: tortilla chips, cheese and jalapeños. The result was so successful that it became an instant classic.
From Caprice to Sensation!
Since their invention, nachos have evolved tremendously. From being a simple appetizer, they have transformed into a full-fledged dish with endless variations. Now, nachos can include beans, meat, guacamole, sour cream, and a wide variety of sauces and vegetables. Each region and chef has added their own personal touch, making this dish unique in every corner of the world.
Secrets to Perfect Nachos
Totopos that Thunder!
The secret to perfect nachos starts with crispy tortilla chips. They must be sturdy enough to withstand all the ingredients we are going to add without losing their crunchy texture. You can make them at home by frying corn tortillas cut into triangles, or buy a good brand at your local store.
Cheese, Cheese and More Cheese
Cheese is, without a doubt, the star ingredient in nachos. A good melted cheese, such as cheddar, adds that layer of creaminess we all crave. You can opt for a cheese sauce for an even topping or melt shredded cheese directly on top of the tortilla chips.
Toppings galore!
What really makes nachos stand out are the toppings. There are no hard and fast rules here; you can be as creative as you want. Classics include refried beans, fresh pico de gallo, creamy guacamole, and jalapeños for a spicy kick. You can also add meat, such as chicken tinga, carne asada or even shrimp for a more gourmet version.
