What does NACHO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A tortilla chip typically served hot and topped with melted cheese and other toppings such as jalapenos, salsa, or beans.
A single nacho is one crisp triangle of fried or baked corn tortilla, usually piled high with cheese and other savoury toppings before being served as a shared snack. The dish takes its name from a Mexican restaurant worker nicknamed Nacho who is credited with inventing it in the 1940s. Although the dish most often appears as a shared plate under the plural form, nacho works perfectly well in the singular for one chip picked off the pile.
