Ranch Tortilla Chips
What it is
These tortilla chips are seasoned with a savory ranch flavor. They are made from corn masa that is fried until crisp. The ranch seasoning typically includes a blend of herbs and spices, such as dill, parsley, garlic, and onion, along with dairy notes like buttermilk or sour cream. This combination creates a tangy and herbaceous taste profile that is distinct from plain or other flavored tortilla chips. They are a popular snack option for individuals and gatherings.
