Enjoy these baked blue corn tortilla chips as a standalone snack or as a component in various dishes. They are excellent for dipping into your favorite salsas, guacamole, or queso.

How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditionally fried tortilla chips, these are baked. This baking process results in a different texture and a lighter feel. The use of blue corn also sets them apart, offering a subtle variation in taste and a distinctive visual appeal compared to chips made from yellow or white corn.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any leftover chips in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from entering, which can make the chips stale and lose their crunch over time.
