This dish is a recognizable part of Mexican cuisine and basically very simple food, quick and easy to prepare with almost unlimited possibilities. Tortilla chips come from the city of Piedras Negras in Mexico. One day in 1943, several wives of American soldiers arrived at a gentleman's restaurant, and as it was already the end of the working day, they asked for something to be prepared for them that was simple and quick to finish. The owner, Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, didn't have enough ingredients to prepare a particular dish. He only had a few tortillas, some grated cheese, and Jalapeño peppers. In an instant, he came up with a recipe: he cut tortillas into triangles, made tortilla chips, sprinkled grated cheese and some peppers and put them all together in the oven for a few minutes. He got a new dish - nachos. The women were delighted with this new snack, and very quickly the recipe spread throughout America.
