Crispy Tortilla Chips
What it is
These tortilla chips are made from corn and are baked, not fried. They offer a lighter crunch compared to traditional fried chips. The baking process results in a delicate texture that is satisfyingly crisp. They are designed to be a snack or a base for various toppings. The chips are seasoned lightly to complement their corn flavor.
