Some historic evidence…

The term nacho has 2 meanings, one is the slang used by the people in Texas and Mexico, and the other is a long story. While there is no specific explanation as to how this tiny little treat was created. But, there is quite an interesting tale which is worth knowing.

In the 1940s, an incident took place in Piedras Negras, a small town in Mexico which was near a US military base, in Texas. Some of the wives of the military men went out shopping and stopped by for some food when they found out all the restaurants were closed. A chef at a victory club, Ignacio Anaya took some pain and pity and decided to cook something with the leftovers in the kitchen. He deep-fried some tortilla chips, topped them with loads of cheddar cheese and jalapenos, baked to perfection, and then served it as canapés. That’s when this little treat came to existence with the second reason to call it nacho because Ignacio’s nickname was Nacho!
