You take some {{w|tortilla chips}}, spread them out on a plate, sprinkle them with {{w|grated cheese}} and perhaps some other ingredients like salsa, beans, or guacamole, and put the plate in the oven until the cheese is melted. As usual with a full bag of snacks, you always end up with that tiny bit left at the bottom of the bag. In this case, it is either leftover grated cheese (left) or tortilla chips (right).
