Best Tortilla Chips

[CCSPRINGS]

I love Garden of Eating 'Red Hot Blues.' They are a near perfect snack. When ever a bag gets opened it is emptied. They are good plain or with dip. I even thought about putting them in my week old food processor and coating chicken cutlets with the crumbs. Does anyone else rank these as highly as I do?

Chip snob here, they have to be fried locally by a restaurant or at home. And salted, they're no good without any salt at all.

+1, however I have found commercial bagged chip that are made in Oregon that are excellent- Juanitas $2/bag.

If I buy commercial chips, it's either Garden Fresh as they ARE fresh tasting, or for a junk food craving, Tostitos Lime. That salty limey thing gets me.

Most preferred chips are those made at the local Mexican market.

They are commercial but I still eat them.

Never made my own tortillas, any advice?

I do love the Garden of Eatin chips. For dipping and nacho purposes, I am a huge Green Mountain Gringo tortilla strip fan.

Food Should Taste Good chips come in a boatload of flavors but the lime is my favorite.

+1, but they need to lose the stupid name and come up with something better.

Here in Texas we have a brand, Julio's that I love. They are a seasoned chip, but not actually flavored. Very good.

Xochitl brand's Totopos de Maiz (tortilla chips) are the best storebought brand I've ever found. They have a perfect thin, light, crispy consistency that blow away all other bagged chips and most fresh ones I've had at Mexican restaurants.

Totally agree!! +1 for Xochitl...thin and tasty and just right for dipping.

[CCSPRINGS]

They are good but tough to dip because they are so thin.

Just discovered the Xochitl chips this past weekend. I agree, they are amazing! I love how crispy and light they are.

totally concur on Xochitl. AMAZING. (be sure to get the salted ones). has anyone tried the blue corn ones? i saw them today for the first time.

[mom22tots]

I don't think I've seen them...let us know how they are!!

Xochitl chips are hard to find here (Orlando, FL). I've only ever seen them at Cost Plus World Market (we only have one, and it's far) and Whole Foods. I have yet to see the blue corn ones, though.
