How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard fried tortilla chips, these chips undergo a toasting process. This method imparts a more pronounced corn flavor and a slightly different texture, often perceived as drier and less oily. The toasting also contributes to a deeper, more complex savory note that sets them apart from chips that are solely fried.

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 over time.
