- 1Why English speakers say tortilla chips instead of totopos●I'm aware that totopos and tortilla chips aren't necessarily the same thing, but it seems very weird to me that we don't
A discussion is under way about why English speakers say 'tortilla chips' rather than 'totopos', the Spanish word for fried or baked tortilla pieces. Bags of the snack often carry both labels, with 'totopos' appearing alongside 'tortilla chips', even though the two terms can refer to different things in Mexican cuisine. Commenters find it curious that the Spanish word never caught on in English.
