What it is
These are crispy, fried corn tortilla pieces, cut into uniform strips. They are seasoned lightly, providing a satisfying crunch and a mild corn flavor. Their shape makes them easy to scoop and dip. They are a popular choice for casual snacking and as a base for various dishes. The texture is firm enough to hold up to toppings without becoming soggy too quickly.
How people cook with it
These versatile strips are excellent for snacking on their own or as a component in many savory dishes.
- Scooping dips and salsas
- Topping for salads
- Base for nachos
- Crunchy addition to soups
Enjoy these tortilla strips straight from the bag for a quick snack. They are perfect for serving with your favorite guacamole, salsa, or queso dip. For a more substantial appetizer, layer them on a baking sheet and top with cheese, beans, and your preferred nacho toppings, then bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly. They also add a delightful crunch when crumbled over chili, taco salads, or creamy soups, providing a textural contrast to softer ingredients.

Compared to whole tortilla chips, these strips offer a more uniform shape, making them easier to handle and layer. Their size also allows them to integrate more evenly into dishes like nachos. The frying process gives them a distinct crispness that differs from baked varieties.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any unused tortilla strips in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Properly sealed, they will remain fresh and crunchy for an extended period.
