Part of the problem you are facing is that Nachos is actually an American food, not a Mexican one. They are served in Mexican restaurants here because it’s expected. Kinda like Chop Suey... not Chinese, but American.

Aha. Sadly, that makes perfect sense.

I watched and insulting episode of Anthony Bourdain “No Reservations” where he did a border show. He crossed from Texas to Mexico and back and forth on his bike. He made fun of the local Texans and gushed over the authenticity of the Mexicans. He explained that in the late 1800’s many white Americans were crossing the border to shop and eat. A local shop owner cut up some tortias, put some cheese on it and served it to the tourists. They didn't eat them in Mexico, it was just for the “idiot tourists” (I suppose he wasn't an idiot tourist though).
