About Nachos, cheese only
Nachos began as a quick improvisation — fried tortilla chips topped with melted cheese — and grew into the definitive shareable snack of bars, cinemas and game nights. In their simplest cheese-only form they are crisp chips blanketed in molten cheese or cheese sauce.
It is an indulgent combination by design. The fried chips bring fat and refined carbohydrate, the cheese piles on more fat along with protein and calcium, and the whole thing is generously salted — landing around 265 calories per 100 grams, with sodium running high.
Loading them up with beans, salsa, tomatoes, jalapenos and a little lean protein adds fiber, vegetables and substance, turning a salty snack into something closer to a meal. Even so, nachos sit comfortably in the treat category.
