Tortilla chips were initially an afterthought, a simple snack made with leftover tortillas.
But these crispy triangles of deliciousness soon became a nationwide sensation, and each February 24, we celebrate these salty snacks with National Tortilla Chip Day.
Whether you eat yours plain or dip them in a spicy salsa, tortilla chips bring the fiesta to any occasion.

Buy a bag and some guac
Stop by your local grocery store and grab a bag of tortilla chips with some guacamole (or salsa). Sometimes, we enjoy these delicious chips by ourselves. No shame in this chip game.
