How it differs from similar foods
Compared to mass-produced tortilla chips, house-made versions often have a more rustic texture and a less uniform shape. The frying process might result in a slightly different crispness and a more pronounced corn flavor, reflecting the care taken in their preparation.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any leftover chips in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. Avoid exposing them to moisture or humidity, which can lead to sogginess and a loss of texture.
