What it is
These are crispy tortilla chips that have been seasoned with a barbecue flavor. They are made from corn masa and are fried or baked until they are golden brown and crunchy.

Unlike plain tortilla chips, these are pre-seasoned with a distinct barbecue flavor.

The barbecue flavor can vary in intensity and specific spice blend depending on the brand.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any leftover chips in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from entering, which can make the chips stale and lose their crunch. Avoid storing them in humid environments.
