- As a crunchy topping
- Crumbled into salads
- Served with dips

To use these frituras, you can simply open the package and enjoy them as a quick snack. For added flavor, they can be crumbled and sprinkled over salads, soups, or casseroles to provide a contrasting texture. They also pair well with various dips, such as salsa, guacamole, or queso. Some people like to crush them and use them as a coating for fried chicken or fish, similar to how breadcrumbs might be used, adding a unique crunch and subtle flavor to the exterior.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to potato chips, these frituras de harina have a lighter, more delicate crunch. Their flavor is more neutral, allowing them to absorb other tastes more readily. They are made from wheat flour, giving them a different base ingredient than corn-based tortilla chips or potato-based chips.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining frituras fresh and crispy, ensure the package is sealed tightly after opening. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. If the bag is not resealable, transfer the contents to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag to prevent them from becoming stale or losing their crunch.
