National Nachos Day is November 6th. In their simplest form, nachos are tortilla chips covered in nacho cheese or other melted cheese, served with salsa. Created around 1943 by Ignaci “Nacho” Anaya in the city of Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, just across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas, the popular and loved nachos are of Mexican origin. Nachos can be made quickly and served as a snack, an appetizer or prepared with extra ingredients as a full meal. Chicken nachos with homemade guacamole for lunch.
