A tortilla chip is a delicious and versatile snack food, beloved globally for its crisp texture and satisfying crunch. It is primarily made from corn tortillas that are cut into wedges and then fried or baked until they reach a perfect state of golden-brown crispiness. Some versions are also made from flour tortillas. The taste is neutral, with a slight corn flavor, making these chips a perfect canvas for various dips, spreads, and toppings. They are a staple in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines, famously paired with salsa, guacamole, or melted cheese in nachos. However, they are also delightful eaten plain or enjoyed as part of a broad range of recipes for appetizers, main dishes, and even desserts. Tortilla chips are not only a party favorite but also a convenient and delightful everyday snack.

Tortilla chips are usually located in the snack or chip aisle of a grocery store. They can also be found near the sections where salsa and dips are sold.
