The Best Easy Nacho Cheese Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Everybody loves an easy nacho cheese recipe. Nachos make a great party food for a crowd. They are great for a tasty anytime snack.

Often, if friends drop over unexpectedly I will whip these nachos up. There is nothing to cut. It is just a heat and serve kind of appetizer.

This recipe for nachos is quite Americanized from the original Tex-Mex recipe made by one Ignacio Anaya in 1943. It was a simple dish of tortilla chips spread with cheddar cheese, melted and topped with jalapeños.

It is said that one day in 1943, the wives of several US soldiers came from Fort Duncan in Eagle Pass Texas to shop in Piedras Negras, Coahuila. After shopping, they arrived at the restaurant where Ignacio Nacho Anaya was the maitre d’. The restaurant was closed for the day. Ignacio had some left over tortillas and cheese sauce. He heated them up, added some sliced jalapeno peppers and served it, calling it “Nachos Especiales” meaning “Special Nachos” in Spanish. The popular dish spread all over Texas and eventually the world.

Ignacio died in 1975. His name is honored by a bronze plaque erected in Piedras Negras and October 21 was declared International Day of the Nacho. A big thanks to Ignacio for one of my favorite snacks.

It is an extremely popular dish today. Everyone has their own version of nachos. This nacho recipe can be an appetizer or add meat and you have a one dish meal for a laid back dinner and a movie at home maybe.
