How to Make Nachos
When you get a case of the munchies, knowing how to make nachos is an invaluable skill. Whether they're topped with nothing more than melted cheese or loaded with a heaping pile of ground beef, beans, tomatoes, jalapenos and more, nothing satisfies that "crunch" craving like.Nachos date back to 1943, when Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya first threw the dish together in a restaurant kitchen with some tostados and grated cheese. The dish was billed as "Nacho's Especiales," and cemented his nickname in pop culture for decades to come. Years later, the family consulted with an attorney to see about claiming ownership of the "nachos" name, but they were advised that the term had become part of the public domain.
Meanwhile, the dish and variations of it became a culinary phenomenon--with toppings ranging from powdered versions of instant nacho cheese sauce mix to caviar, and just about everything in between. Most nacho enthusiasts, however, prefer to stick with the tried and true.
