THE ORIGINAL NACHOS

The Original Nachos image

The first nachos were said to have been invented in Piedras Negras, Mexico, in 1940, with just three ingredients. As the story goes, a group of women walked into the Victory Club in Piedras outside business hours. Aiming to please, Ignacio Anaya, the maître d'hôtel known as Nacho, ran to the kitchen and made a quick appetizer with ingredients he found. Today's nachos know no end to their variations: They can have a number of seasoned layers, like these bricklayer-style nachos, or these vegetarian bean nachos, or simply be topped with cheese sauce, like those sold at concession stands. But the simplicity of its original, with its barely salted chips, nutty melted cheese and briny pickled jalapeños, is sure to charm true fans.

Ingredients

3/4 pound store-bought or Homemade Tortilla Chips (see recipe)

Serve nachos immediately, directly on the hot baking sheets, or use a spatula to transfer them to a platter.

These are the "Real" Nachos I used to get in Juarez, Mexico. Now that they have been so over "Americanized" I love the old style.
