What it is

They are baked or fried until crisp and are a popular snack option. The blue corn kernels are ground to create the masa for the chips, offering a unique visual appeal and a subtle, earthy taste that many find appealing. They are a straightforward snack food, designed for enjoyment on their own or as a base for other dishes.
