Etymology

The word 'nacho' was first used in the 1940s, originating from the name of Ignacio Anaya, a Mexican cook. According to popular legend, Anaya created nachos in 1943 for a group of American soldiers stationed near the Mexican border. He improvised by cutting tortillas into triangles, frying them, and topping them with cheese and jalapeรฑos. The creation became known as 'Nachos Especiales' and quickly gained popularity throughout Mexico and the United States. Now, nachos are commonly found in various forms at sporting events, parties, and restaurants, with multiple variations and toppings being invented over the years.
