What it is
These are crispy, fried corn tortilla chips. They are made from masa, a dough derived from corn, which is then fried to a golden brown. The chips are seasoned lightly, offering a satisfying crunch and a mild corn flavor that serves as a base for various toppings and dips. They are a popular snack and a versatile ingredient in many dishes.

Enjoy these chips straight from the bag as a satisfying snack. They are ideal for scooping up your favorite dips like salsa, guacamole, or queso. For a more substantial meal, layer them with cheese, beans, and toppings to create loaded nachos. They can also be broken into pieces and added to soups or casseroles for a crunchy texture. When making dishes like enchiladas or tostadas, these chips provide a foundational element.
