Tortilla chips

Tortilla chips are crispy fried or baked snacks made from corn tortillas. The dough is shaped into triangles or other forms and then deep-fried in oil or baked until golden. The result is a light, crunchy snack with a distinctive corn flavour and a lightly salted taste. They are best known as a staple of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, typically served with guacamole, salsa, or melted cheese dip. They also work as the foundation for nachos, topped with melted cheese, jalapeños, and other ingredients. Available in many flavoured varieties in stores, they can also be easily baked at home using ready-made tortillas.
