Tortila Chips them selves are a modern (highly likely american) invention.

They weren&#x27;t mass produced till the 40&#x27;s and even indepth research of Mexican and Mexican-American&#x2F;Lantio-American cuisine can&#x27;t find even a remote reference to them earlier than the mid 1930&#x27;s.
Nacho&#x27;s are also not exactly &quot;traditional&quot; Mexican food.<p>If you refer to targeted optimization for mass consumption of a massively produced product then everything undergoes that process it&#x27;s not like a &quot;traditional&quot; Chinese product will not be optimized locally to appeal to as many people as possible in the local market (insert a literally billion people pun here).
I doubt that all Chinese like their fish sauce exactly the same so I&#x27;m pretty sure that which ever fish sauce brand dominates the Chinese market is quite heavily optimized to appeal to as many pallets as possible.
