Recipe Introduction

The crunch, the taste, the deliciousness! What is there not to love about tortilla chips. They can be made out of white, blue, red, or yellow corn and are popular around the world. Tortilla chips are commonly served alongside salsa, sour cream, chili, or guacamole and they are also an extremely popular dish when served as nachos. Tortilla chips were invented by Rebecca Webb Carranza in Los Angeles in the 1940's as a way to use misshaped tortillas that came out of an automated tortilla machine. These rejected tortillas were cut into triangles, fried, and sold for a dime a bag by the El Zarape Tortilla Factory. They became immensely popular and in 1994, Carranza received the Golden Tortilla Award for her contribution to the Mexican food industry. To celebrate National Tortilla Chip Day, buy a bag of your favorite tortilla chips or try baking your own. Then just enjoy with some salsa or dip for a tasty snack or meal!
