National Tortilla Chip Day

Tortilla chips are a popular snack food made from thin, crispy triangles or wedges of corn tortillas that have been deep-fried or baked until crispy. They are often seasoned with salt, spices, and other flavorings and are commonly served with dips such as salsa, guacamole, or queso dip. Tortilla chips were first created in the United States in the 1940s as a way to use up leftover tortillas. They quickly became popular and are now a staple in many households and restaurants across the country. In addition to being a popular snack food, tortilla chips are also used in a variety of dishes such as nachos, taco salads, and as a crunchy topping for soups and stews. They can also be used as a substitute for bread crumbs in recipes such as chicken tenders or meatballs. Tortilla chips are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors, including traditional corn, multigrain, and flavored options such as ranch or chili lime. They are a versatile and delicious snack that can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a larger meal.
