Nachos

Hi guys!!!!! I was investigating about the history of the nachos. Do you want to know what I have discovered? Ok, so I'm gonna start by the first question. Where were invented the nachos? Everybody thinks that they came from Mexico, but they are wrong. Nachos were made by a mexican but they are  from United States.            

Ignacio (the mexican who created the nachos and from his name came the name of this food) were working in a small restaurant in a town. TThe restaurant was closed, but three women married with militarists of E.E.U.U. wanted to have dinner, so Nacho needed to prepare something for the ladies. So he took some cheese and totopo and he served it to the diners. One of the ladies asked for the plate's name, but Nacho  didn't understand her and he responded  Nacho (his nickname). From this day, the fame of this plate was rising because it is easy to prepare and you choose the ingridients.
