Nachos are a snack food dish from northern Mexico. The dish
is composed of tortilla chips, and is often served as a snack. The bane of
diets and the boon of happy hours -- could there be a more perfect
calorie-dense accompaniment to a pitcher of margaritas?
Less rhetorically: why does Piedras Negras, Mexico, just
over the border from Eagle Pass, Texas, host The International Nacho Festival
and the Biggest Nacho in the World Contest every October?
Because it was there that Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya invented
nachos when a gaggle of shopping wives of American soldiers stationed at Fort
Duncan arrived at the Victory Club restaurant after closing time.
Maitre d’ Ignacio improvised something for the gals with
what he had on hand, christening his melty creation nachos especiales. From
thence they have gone forth across the border, the continent and the world.
Ingredients of Nachos
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 (18 ounce) package restaurant-style tortilla chips
- 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, or more to taste
- 1 (15.5 ounce) can refried beans
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup sour cream, or more to taste
- 1 (10 ounce) can pitted black olives, drained and chopped
- 4 green onions, diced
- 1 (4 ounce) can sliced jalapeno peppers, drained
How to Make Nachos
- Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water and simmer until beef mixture has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Spread tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet; top with Cheddar cheese and dot with refried beans and ground beef mixture.
- Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, watching carefully to prevent burning, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Top nachos with salsa, sour cream, black olives, green onions, and jalapeno peppers.
That is Nachos Recipe.
