Talk:Tortilla chip

message: ummm....tortilla chips and corn chips are different products (at least in the US).  Tortilla chips are actually made from corn tortillas, such as Tostitos, while corn chips are of the Fritos variety
:Then you should probably fix the article, for those of us who don't consume the mass-market brands and wouldn't know a Tostito from a Frito if we bit one. ;) - toh 20:41, 2004 Dec 9 (UTC)
Was the tortilla chip really invented in the 1940s? I remember reading an encyclopedia of Amerindian contributions were it read that they were eaten by mesoamerican and southwest cultures. I'll try to look it up but I may need some help.--Manny 15:22, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Called "totopos" in commercial marketing - is that within Mexico? because here in the US I have a bag of Tostitos and it says "Tostitos brand tortilla chips". Kuronue 20:22, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Totopos 

message: Whether it's true or not, it says they were first made in Los Angeles in this very article, but then it says on the right that the country of origin is Mexico. I'm sorry, but no one in Mexico served these until a couple of decades ago; they are as American as fortune cookies. Also, the article says they are known in Mexico as tostados. First of all, it's tostadas. There's no such thing as "tostados". Secondly, tostadas are large and tortilla sized, not cut up into wedges or smaller pieces. Just google 'tostadas' and you'll see they are not tortilla chips. --Kharlos (talk) 03:05, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: First mass produced, not first made, in Los Angeles. Note that several of the references cited in the article refer to the triangle chips, as opposed to the whole fried corn tortilla, as being called "tostados" in Mexico, including the stories about the creation of "nachos" in Piedras Negras, Mexico, in 1943.

message: Introduction 
Tortillas originated in Mexico as a bread staple made from corn pulp, otherwise known as masa. The name “tortilla”, however, emerged from the Spaniards’ description of the flour cake: torta, the Spanish word for “cake”.
Tortilla chips are simply fried or baked tortillas, and the chips were first introduced by Latin Americans living in the southwest United States. More specifically, it was Rebecca Webb Carranza who is credited to be “one of the pioneers of the commercial tortilla chip”. Her discovery in 1950 was led by aversion towards the food waste produced by misshapen tortillas coming out from the El Zarape Tortilla Factory tortilla-making machines where she worked. Carranza cut the misshapen tortillas and deep fried them, quickly gaining popularity with her relatives and deli, where she sold the chips for a dime a bag. 10 years later, the popularity of the Tort Chips revolutionized El Zarape’s business as well as the commercialization of tortilla chips today   
The chips have gained increasing popularity in North America, so much so that the top 10 brands of tortilla chips, such as Doritos and Tostitos, have earned a combined revenue of $3,243.7 billion just in 2015 . Even February 24th has even been marked as National Tortilla Chip Day
Tortilla chips can be paired with condiments such as salsa and guacamole, and can be made into nachos for party snacks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michy1957 (talk • contribs) 19:29, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

message: The 1st line of the article says "This article is about the chips made from corn tortillas" & then "A tortilla chip is a snack food made from corn tortillas". That is no longer completely true. There are tortilla chips made from wheat, almonds, plantains, Cassava, & maybe other main ingredients. 99.7.207.171 (talk) 01:57, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Echoing this. The article would benefit from some coverage of non-corn tortilla chips. Flour tortilla chips are by far the most common and oldest non-traditional variant, but as said, others exist. I don't know enough to fell comfortable adding the information; but as is, the article is severely lacking the information. 207.191.198.38 (talk) 12:48, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
