I heard that the original nachos came from Piedras Negras, Mexico around the year 1940, where the dish was served as a mixture of tortilla chips, cheese, and pickled Jalapenos.
This recipe will get you close to that original flavor, in the comfort of your own home. I also included some freshly-squeezed lime juice on top.
