Nachos

Nachos are not a traditional Mexican dish, though their origin story does involve a Mexican chef. Ignacio Anaya created the dish at the Victory Club for military wives who lived in Piedras Negras, Mexico. Nachos come in many different varieties but most involve a layer of tortilla chips topped with melted cheese. Additional ingredients may include black olives, onions, tomatoes, meats, seasonings, and anything else that pairs well with chips and cheese.
