>>There’s no such thing. Nachos were invented in Texas. And Chimichangas right here in Tucson. And until recently all the Corona sold in America was brewed by Budweiser. Remember these things come Cinco De Mayo so you can celebrate the holiday in the “proper” Mexican way.<<

That’s very disillusioning.

It’s funny. BTW the last one (Budweiser making Corona) is why Cinco De Mayo is such a big thing here, they were having a hard time selling Corona and went looking for an occasion they could push and found an obscure Mexican holiday that nobody in Mexico actually cared about. And people in Mexico still don’t really care about the holiday.

As for nachos you’re probably looking at a cheddar/ jack blend. There really isn’t much in the way of “Mexican” cheese, though they do have some good goat cheeses down there. Really any good combo of cheese and some peppers with milk or vegetable oil to make it go smooth when you melt it and you’re good. Or just get the jars from Tostidos, pretty good nacho cheese. If you have a Linens N Things near you they have a mini-crock pot that perfectly holds the contents of one Tostidos jar, takes about half an hour to warm it up but man does it taste good.
