regarding Dorito's not being acceptable for nachos:  right on!

But for those of us who have neither the time nor want to take the
trouble (to say nothing of the equipment) for deep frying, here
are a couple of suggestions for suitable substitutes (in order of
my preference):

1- Some Mexican restaurants will sell fresh fried tortilla chips by
   bagful.  These restaurants are the ones that tend to have the
   best food, and the worst decor.  I used to pay $1.00 for two grocery
   bags full when I was in college (about 1980-1).   They were the
   best since they were fresh, and available without too much (or
   no salt).  Look for the funky places, out-of-the-way, and you'll
   probably find a gold mine for chips.  Of course, it doesn't hurt
   to ask to buy the chips as you're on your way out after buying
   other food...

2- Most coop and natural style neighborhood markets have good tortilla
   chips available in bulk.  These are pretty good, not too much salt,
   none of the stuff that makes Dorito's gross, and make almost as
   good nachos as 1- above.
