On February 24, 2023, National Tortilla Chip Day will be observed. Corn tortillas are used to make tortilla chips, which are then sliced into wedges and cooked. As an alternative, they could be baked or fried corn masa discs. The ingredients for corn tortillas include corn, vegetable oil, salt, and water.
The traditional and frequently free appetiser in Tex-Mex and Mexican restaurants in the United States and elsewhere is tortilla chips. Although tortilla chips, also known as tostados, were initially mass-produced in Los Angeles in the late 1940s, they were traditionally regarded as a Mexican delicacy. These can be produced using white, blue, or red maize in addition to the conventional yellow corn. Other substances used by certain producers include wheat, sugar, and MSG.
