Who was the 1st person to put sour cream on mexican food?

Who would get credit for that? When did it 1st appear in recipes or restaurants? Taco bell has done it from at least the 1970"s, but when did they start and who did it before them?Who was the 1st person to put sour cream on mexican food?
It was Xavier Cugat, It would have been around 1915 when he was working in his family's restaurant - it was a Mexican food place but they lived in Cuba at the time. (His family is originally from Spain - where Most Mexican originated from - so the cooking was close to what he had growing up)



He worked at the restaurant while forming his band and playing gigs in the evening He went on to be famous - but he was also the one to start putting a dollop of soured cream on top of various Mexican foods. Doing that is common in Spain, where his family is from - and almost all cooked food in Cuba comes with a sauce on top. So he just continued the tradition with the Mexican food he was serving. But he was the first to do it.



He died in 1990 - remembered more for his band and acting, than for his culinary contributions.



There is a wikipedia article about him at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xavier_Cuga鈥?/a>Who was the 1st person to put sour cream on mexican food?
