~100 g tortilla chips with salsa has about 490 calories.
Why estimates miss: Chips and Salsa is a multi-ingredient dish. The fried chips carry hidden oil, so a bottomless basket adds up fast. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
