National Nachos Day 2016: Freebies, Discounts And Deals From Taco Bell, Chili’s And More

Although Sunday is typically thought of as a day to rest and recuperate, Nov. 6 should be thought of as a day of indulgence. National Nachos Day celebrates the delicious dish that consists of tortilla chips topped with beans, salsa, sour cream, tomatoes, cheese and any other tasty ingredients.

Dating back to 1943, nachos are said to have been created in Mexico by a man named Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya who was forced to think on his feet. Anaya was preparing to close his restaurant when the wives of American soldiers arrived. Left with few ingredients due to it being the end of the night, he cut up some tortillas and sprinkled cheese, peppers and other leftover ingredients on top of them.

Placing the dish in the oven for a few minutes and he then served it to the women who asked him what it was called to which he replied “Nacho’s especiales.” Over the years people have put their own spin on the dish and now enjoy different versions of nachos.

Whether you like chips and salsa or prefer this dish loaded with a variety of toppings, enjoy this day by picking up some nachos. Below are several restaurants offering freebies, discounts and more on nachos.
