Interesting Facts
Nachos were invented by Ignacio 'Nacho' Anaya in 1943 in Mexico.
Nachos are traditionally made with tortilla chips, cheese, and jalapenos, but can be customized with a variety of toppings.
Baking nachos instead of just melting the cheese on top helps to evenly distribute the toppings and create a crispy texture.
