Shearer's Blue Corn & Sesame Tortilla Chips
What it is
These tortilla chips are made from blue corn and include sesame seeds, offering a unique flavor and texture. The blue corn provides a slightly different taste profile than traditional yellow corn, and the addition of sesame seeds brings a subtle nuttiness and crunch. They are designed for snacking and can be used as a base for various appetizers. The chips are typically seasoned lightly to allow the corn and sesame flavors to come through.
How people cook with it
These chips are versatile and can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger dish.
- Scooping salsa or guacamole
- Layering in nachos
- Crushing for a crunchy topping
- Serving with dips
Open the bag and serve the chips directly from the package. They are ready to eat as a snack. For appetizers, arrange them on a platter and serve with your favorite dips like salsa, queso, or guacamole. You can also use them as a base for building nachos, layering them with cheese, beans, and other toppings before baking. For a different texture, crush the chips and use them as a crunchy coating for chicken or fish, or as a topping for salads and casseroles.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard yellow corn tortilla chips, these feature blue corn, which has a slightly earthier flavor. The inclusion of sesame seeds adds a distinct nutty undertone and a different kind of crunch compared to plain corn chips. This combination creates a more complex flavor profile.

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the bag tightly to maintain freshness. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper sealing helps prevent the chips from becoming stale or losing their crispness.
