National Nachos Day

National Nachos Day celebrates the beloved Tex-Mex snack of tortilla chips topped with melted cheese and various toppings. The origins of Nachos date back to 1943 in Piedras Negras, Mexico, where it is said that Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya created the dish for a group of U.S. military wives using ingredients he had in the kitchen. The dish gained popularity in the United States and beyond, becoming a staple in Mexican restaurants and sports bars. On National Nachos Day, people often indulge in this crispy, cheesy treat and experiment with different toppings like salsa, guacamole, jalapeños, and sour cream.
