Nachos
Nachos are called nachos because they are named after their inventor, Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya. According to the story, in 1940, a few American women crossed the border into Piedras Negras in Coahuila, Mexico, to do some shopping. They stopped at the Victory Club restaurant looking for something to eat, but it was outside of business hours, so there was no chef or cook there. However, Nacho, the maître d’ at the restaurant, offered to make them something, and he ran into the kitchen, grabbed some fried corn tortilla chips, topped them with Colby cheese and slices of pickled jalapeños, and placed them in the oven. The women loved them and called them Nacho’s special, and the rest is culinary history. Source: BuzzFeed

Glad to know about story of Nachos.
Loved it 🙂
Me too. I love Nachos. Happy day and week. 🙂
No idea about this story of Nachos. I can not say anything about the taste, but it looks
fantastic. I like the shape. A good start for a mandala.
Happy WW, dear Sandee! Hugs and joy!❤️😘
Nachos are very delicious. Fattening, but delicious. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Suzana. Love and hugs. 🙂
Had sort of forgotten about nachos but they are a fabulous snack !!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
They are indeed. I can make a meal out of Nachos. I like mine with chicken. 🙂
Yes, please, and with a pint of summer ale!
I’m with you. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Scritches to handsome Duke. 🙂
Oh, Sandee, we want to have muchos Nachos, they’re so delicious🌮Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and week ahead, to you, Zane and the sweet kitties too🐾😽💞
I love Nachos. They are delicious indeed. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
Fun story. I love nachos. The ones in the picture look very tasty.
They sure do look tasty. Happy day and rest of the week, Ann. Scritches to handsome Gibbs. 🙂
Lindo prato de nachos e bom saber da história deles!
beijos, tudo de bom,chica
It is a beautiful plate of Nachos. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Chica. Thanks for playing along. 🙂
We never thought about where that name came from but now we know. Nacho, nacho!
I didn’t think about it either, but thought it was interesting enough for a Wordless Wednesday post. 🙂
Enjoyed the story of the name for Nachos.
That plate of nachos looks delicious.
Thanks for hosting!
Makes my stomach growl. I love Nachos. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Some of the best dishes seem to have been created by accident, or out of necessity. This was both. Thanks for the yummy post. Alana ramblinwitham
I agree with you. Nachos is a most wonderful accident. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Thanks for playing along. 🙂
How interesting!
I thought so too. Have a great day. Scritches to the precious pups. 🙂
The things I never knew…thanks for broadening my horizons yet one more time!
I love doing these tidbits of information. Happy day and rest of the week. Happy Birthday Xena. 🙂
We learned something!
I did too. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
I love nachos. I did not know the story before now. Thanks for hosting. Have a nice day. XO
I didn’t know this story either. Have a great day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Yum, looks like snack time to me!
I’m hungry this morning and I’d love to have these nachos. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
That’s a really interesting origin story.
I thought so too. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Now I want nachos for dinner!
Me too. I’ve not had them in a very long time. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
WOW!!! Those certainly look better than the ones with just some queso (Ro-tel) poured over the chips. That dish is a meal all by itself.
If they are made right it’s a meal. I like mine with chicken. Yummy. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Looks yummy! Here’s my WW: https://chambersontheroad.com/2026/06/17/wordless-wednesday-6-17-2026/
Thanks for playing along, Betty. I enjoyed your post. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
I love nachos. That’s a great story. Where do you get your ideas. 🤣😎🙃
I search for them. There are many websites that have this kind of information. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Interesting info. Now I want nachos! Those look so good.
Have a great Wednesday!
Me too. We love Mexican food and have it often. Happy day and rest of the week, Yvonne. 🙂
How cool is that??!! Nachos…a staple around here and your post image sure got my mouth watering. Happy mid-week, dear Sandee.
We love them too. Don’t have them very often, but enjoy them when we do. We love Mexican food too. delicious. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to handsome Wilson. 🙂
Interesting to learn how nachos came about! That image is making me hungry. 😀Thanks for hosting the Wordless Wednesday blog hop, Sandee. 🌹
I love nachos and had no idea how they were born. Happy WW and rest of the week, Debbie. 🙂
This is an interesting origin story! I love nachos –they can be made in so many delicious ways.
You can put whatever you want on those chips. I agree with you. Delicious. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Great info about a yummy treat thanks ^_^
Hugs and love to you from me and Ziggy ~ ^_^
It is a yummy treat indeed. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
Mmm, nachos 😺
I agree. I love all Mexican food. 🙂
A fond memory of mine is the vegan nachos I had while in New York City a couple of years ago.
YUM!
Vegan Nachos are good too. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Thank you for the excellent trivia. I have had nachos in many places, but the ones I had in a small restaurant in Colorado sticks in my memory fondly. I don’t even recall the name of the restaurant.
Thank you for all the work you do for the bloghops, Sandee. Love and hugs to you.
Not all Nachos are created equal. It’s a wonderful treat. Happy day and rest of the week. Love and hugs. 🙂
Thank you dear friend, same to you.
Sandee I loved x 100 learning this information. What fun and now I know how it Nachos became Nachos or is it Nachoes 🙂
Hugs cecilia
I thought this was a good tidbit to know. Love and hugs to you and Kit and lots of scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Good morning, Sandee. Strangely, I am not the biggest nacho lover, but do eat it when presented to me

We love all Mexican food here. Not all dishes are my favorite either. Happy WW and rest of the week. Thank you for all you do. 🙂
Nachos, piled high with black beans, veggies and of course the cheese, are so good. Every single ridiculous calorie is worth it. 🙂
I would love that. Yummy. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Interesting history of a favorite snack! I love nachos! So easy to make and so good to eat. Happy Wednesday <3
I thought so too. I love Nachos very much. Just don’t have them very often. Happy Wednesday. 🙂
Yum! I love them – my waistline and cholesterol do not…
That makes two of us, Lydia. I rarely have this. Very fattening, but so delicious. 🙂
Pretty! My husband and I heard a slightly different but still fun explanation. In that version, the restaurant owner fried the corn tortillas for a quick snack. This one seems more likely, though. lol Hugs, my dear.
You never know what’s true or not, but I always link to where I got the information. Hugs, my friend. 🙂
Those nachos look way fancier than Nacho’s specials. Our mom likes the originals but has not had them in a very long time. Cooper is happy you liked his photo today. Thanks for linking us up. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid & Sawyer, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali
I don’t eat these very often. I like them with chicken, but also like the meat free ones too. I love Cooper Murphy. You can tell him I said so. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and a big hug to you. 🙂
These look so good! The history behind them is interesting, I’m glad he wanted to oblige the ladies. You and Mr. Zane have a blessed rest of the week and please give Lil’ Bit and Squeaker some loving from me.
He did a most wonderful thing. Happy day and rest of the week. Love and hugs. 🙂
Would never have guessed that’s how they originated. Glad they did though. Love them. Yum
That makes two of us, but I’m glad it happened. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Hard to believe a simple mix of chips, cheese, and jalapeños became such a classic. The plate in the photo looks delicious! 😋
Happy Wednesday, Sandee!
I agree with you. Nachos are very delicious. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Veronica. 🙂
I love this story, and am thankful for Nacho’s inventive contribution to yummy food. 🙂
Happy Wednesday, Sandee!
I’m with you. I love Mexican food. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
I want some! I want some!!
Me, too. Me, too. 🙂
Yummy… I like this 😁 Thank you for sharing and for hosting. Greetings by Heidrun
Nachos are yummy. Very fattening though. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Interesting to learn about Nachos, and one of my favorite snacks next to cheese fries. Hugs.
I’ve never had cheese fries. I need to try them. Happy day and rest of the week, Eugenia. I hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday. 🙂
Mmm, I love nachos! I need to make some, but right now we’re trying to watch what we eat. Bummer! 🙁
I hear you on the watching what we’re eating. Same here. Have a great day, my friend. Love and hugs. 🙂
I love Nachos toooo
I wish I could share some with you. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to Beau. 🙂
Yum. This made me miss nachos.
Nachos are so good and can be made in so many ways. Happy day and weekend, Lux. 🙂
