What it is
These tortilla chips offer a unique flavor combination. They are made from corn and black beans, providing a hearty base. The chips are seasoned with a smoky barbecue flavor, creating a savory and slightly sweet profile. The texture is typically crunchy, characteristic of tortilla chips, with the added visual appeal of the black bean specks throughout. They are designed for snacking and are ready to eat right out of the bag.

Open the bag and serve the chips directly. They are perfect for casual snacking during the day or for serving to guests at gatherings. For a more substantial offering, they can be paired with a variety of dips, such as salsa, guacamole, or a creamy cheese dip.

How to keep the rest
After opening, it is best to store any remaining chips in an airtight container or resealable bag. This will help maintain their crispness and prevent them from becoming stale. Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.
