Questions about Nacho cheese tortilla chips
How many nacho cheese tortilla chips is a 30 g portion?
A 30 g handful is a practical snack portion; the exact number of chips depends on their size. That amount provides 156 kcal.
How do you make loaded nacho cheese tortilla chips in the oven?
Spread the chips in a single layer on an ovenproof tray, add grated cheese, cooked beans or minced meat, and bake at 180 °C for about 5–8 minutes, until the cheese melts. Add salsa, avocado or sour cream after baking so the toppings stay fresh.
What dips go well with nacho cheese tortilla chips?
Salsa, guacamole and sour cream are classic choices; black bean dip also works well. For nachos, add the dip after baking rather than pouring it over the whole tray, which can make the chips soggy.
How should you store nacho cheese tortilla chips once the packet is open?
Fold the packet tightly over and seal it with a clip, or move the chips to an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry cupboard; moisture quickly takes away their crunch.
Can you re-crisp stale nacho cheese tortilla chips?
Yes. Spread them on a baking tray and warm them at 160 °C for 3–5 minutes, then let them cool briefly; they crisp up as they cool. Watch closely, as the cheese seasoning can scorch.
Are nacho cheese tortilla chips different from plain tortilla chips?
They are seasoned with a cheese-style flavouring, while plain tortilla chips have a simpler corn taste and are often used as a base for toppings. Plain tortilla chips have 465 kcal per 100 g, compared with 519 kcal per 100 g in nacho cheese tortilla chips.
Are nacho cheese tortilla chips very salty?
They contain 691 mg of sodium per 100 g, so a small handful can still contribute a noticeable amount. Their salty, savoury flavour makes them easy to keep eating straight from the packet, so portion some into a bowl.
Are nacho cheese tortilla chips gluten-free?
Corn tortilla chips are often made without wheat, but seasonings and manufacturing can introduce gluten. If you need to avoid gluten, check the ingredient and allergen information on the packet.
