Nachos originated in Mexico in the 1940s and were created by Ignacio Anaya. The dish was named after him, as his nickname was Nacho. The original nachos consisted of tortilla chips topped with melted cheese and jalapenos. Over the years, nachos have evolved and can now be found in various forms and flavors. Old El Paso is a popular brand that offers a variety of Mexican-inspired products, including their stuffed nachos which are perfect for air frying.
