Chips and Cheese is a popular comfort food and snack, often associated with Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine but enjoyed globally in various forms. Typically, it consists of crispy tortilla chips topped with melted cheese, sometimes accompanied by additional toppings like jalapeños, salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. While its simplicity makes it a versatile dish, its nutritional profile depends on portion size and preparation. It offers calcium and protein from the cheese and dietary fiber from whole-grain tortilla chips, if selected. However, it can be high in saturated fats, sodium, and calories, especially if heavily topped or fried. Healthier versions can include baked chips, reduced-fat cheese, and nutrient-rich sides like fresh vegetables or homemade salsa. Chips and Cheese is a delicious indulgence that can be adapted to fit various dietary preferences while maintaining its signature combination of crunch and creaminess.
