Nachos are a Tex-Mex creation found at Mexican and fast food restaurants. They consist of tortilla chips topped with cheese and often a variety of other things and then baked or broiled until hot. They come topped with condiments and are eaten by hand. Though nachos can be eaten as a meal, they are often on the appetizer section of restaurant menus, as they can be shared by many people. Nachos can be a bit messy, so be sure to have lots of napkins on hand.
