Thin Tortilla Chips, 12 oz Bag
What it is
These are thinly sliced corn tortillas that have been fried until crisp. They are a popular snack food, often served with dips or as a base for nachos. The thinness contributes to a delicate crunch and allows them to absorb flavors readily. They are typically made from masa harina, water, and salt, then fried to achieve their signature texture and golden hue.

How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thicker tortilla chips, these thin varieties offer a lighter, more delicate crunch. They tend to break more easily, making them ideal for scooping rather than heavy topping. Their thinner profile also means they fry faster and can become crispier.
