How it differs from similar foods
Compared to potato chips, tortilla chips have a distinct corn flavor and a more robust texture. Their triangular shape is ideal for dipping. While potato chips are often fried from thinly sliced potatoes, tortilla chips are made from pressed corn masa, giving them a unique mouthfeel and taste profile.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any leftover tortilla chips in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. Avoid exposure to moisture, as this can make them stale and lose their crunch. Proper storage will help preserve their texture for several days.
