Maybe you need a Joint that's closer to the Mexican border...
There's always room for
recipes seriousness there!
Nachos aren't "Mexican" food. ;-)
They were invented in Texas!!! And they have become one of the most popular snack foods all across the U.S. (and probably Canadia too). Go into a convenience store virtually anywhere in the U.S. and you'll find a station dedicated to hooking consumers up with Nachos. Next time you go in one for a hot dog ... get the nachos instead!!

I thought they were invented across the border, in Mexico, for shoppers from Texas.

This food editor knew all about nachos; she had written a column for that newspaper in 1986 (11 Mar. 2D) and credited Ignacio Anaya, chef at the old Victory Club in Piedras Negras (a small Mexican town just across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas) as the person who assembled the first nachos for some Eagle Pass ladies who were on a shopping trip during the 1940s.

nachos.

nachos and
donuts.
