Tortilla Chips are Mexican although they were first mass produced in the USA but they were first made in Mexico and served as a Mexican Cuisine.
Although first mass-produced commercially in the U.S. in Los Angeles in the late 1940s, tortilla chips grew out of Mexican cuisine, where similar items were well known, such as totopos and tostadas.

Freshly made corn tortilla chips, called totopos in Spanish, are best for preparing chilaquiles or nachos, and also to dip in guacamole, queso con carne, a great salsa or use in any dish that calls for chips.
Homemade tortilla chips are lighter, crispier and have a fresher more authentic corn taste.
Totopos can contribute as one of the main ingredients to make tasty and flavorful nachos, but they are not exactly nachos.
