Tortilla chips with cheese, commonly referred to as nachos, are a popular snack or appetizer rooted in Mexican cuisine. This dish typically consists of crunchy, fried or baked corn tortilla chips topped with melted cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a cheese sauce. Some variations include additional toppings like beans, jalapeños, or salsa. While tortilla chips provide carbohydrates and fiber, they are often higher in calories, sodium, and fat due to frying and added seasonings. The cheese contributes protein and calcium but can also be a significant source of saturated fat and sodium. Consuming smaller portions and pairing with fresh toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado, or fresh salsa can enhance its nutritional profile. Tortilla chips with cheese are best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet.
