Nachos are chips with cheese that have been in the oven or microwave
long enough to melt the cheese and served warm. Regular nachos can be
served with sour cream, salsa and guacamole on the side. Super nachos
are baked with ground meat etc. We used to make super nachos with
refried beans and meat with the other three on the side. These days,
it's just regular nachos - sometimes with guacamole but most of the
time it's unaccompanied. For me, a tortilla chip snack would be plain
tortilla chips and guacamole, but I prefer salsa fresca because there
is zero prep work. Just open the bag of chips and the salsa container
and eat.
