When it comes to tortilla chips, Tostitos has long been the go-to name in snack aisles across the country. But in recent years, Masa Chips has emerged as a serious challenger—offering a new take on the classic corn chip that emphasizes craft, tradition, and quality. Made from nixtamalized corn (the traditional method used in authentic tortillas), Masa Chips have a deep, almost earthy corn flavor. It’s a richer, more robust taste that reflects the use of whole ingredients and traditional preparation techniques.

These chips tend to be thicker and heartier with a firm, satisfying crunch. They hold up well to even the chunkiest salsas and guac without breaking. For what it’s worth, they even add the perfect crunch crushed up on top of a salad! While these are a premium product, you can rest assured that you are receiving premium quality, free from seed oils and cooked in grass-fed tallow. Enjoy!
