National Tortilla Chip Day (February 24) is a great excuse to indulge in crunchy, salty goodness! Here are some fun ways to celebrate:

1. Host a Tortilla Chip Tasting Party

  • Get a variety of chips (classic, blue corn, multigrain, flavored).
  • Pair them with different dips—guacamole, queso, salsa, bean dip, or even something unique like chocolate hummus.

2. Make Your Own Tortilla Chips

  • Cut corn tortillas into triangles, brush with oil, and bake or fry.
  • Season with salt, chili powder, lime zest, or cinnamon sugar for a twist.

3. Try a Nacho Bar

  • Set up a DIY nacho station with toppings like cheese, jalapeños, black beans, sour cream, and shredded meat.

4. Experiment with Tortilla Chip Recipes

  • Chilaquiles – Toss chips in salsa and top with eggs or shredded chicken.
  • Tortilla Chip Crusted Chicken – Use crushed chips as breading.
  • Dessert Nachos – Drizzle cinnamon-sugar chips with caramel and chocolate.

5. Compete in a Chip & Dip Contest

  • Have friends or family bring their best dip creation and vote on the favorite.

6. Visit a Mexican Restaurant

  • Support a local spot and enjoy fresh tortilla chips with their signature dips.

7. Learn the History

  • Tortilla chips were reportedly invented by Rebecca Webb Carranza in the 1940s. Take a moment to appreciate their origins!
