Nacho went into the kitchen and improvised a dish for his customers with tortillas that he cut into triangles and fried, adding cheese (which he melted on the fried triangles) and pickled jalapeño peppers.
The dish was loved by the wives of the military. The popularity of nachos quickly spread throughout Texas and the southwestern United States.
The original recipe for Mexican nachos has undergone some variations. In the United States, a variety of toppings are usually added in quantity, such as abundant cheese, meat and even beans.
