Perfectly Crunchy Tortilla Chips

Celebrate National Tortilla Chip Day is Saturday, 2/24, with your favorite dip or sauce and a bag of Bianchini’s House Made Tortilla Chips. We hand cut and fry our tortilla chips in small batches, ensuring that they’re perfectly crisp with a satisfying crunch The tortilla chip has a fun history that dates back to the 1940’s. Rebecca Webb Carranza and her husband had an automated tortilla manufacturing machine for their Mexican delicatessen and tortilla factory in southwest Los Angeles. Rebecca noticed that misshapen tortillas were discarded by the machine, and not wanting to have them go to waste, decided to cut them into triangles and fry them. The triangular snacks were sold for a dime per bag and became a hit at the El Zarape Tortilla Factory. For her contributions to the Mexican food industry, Rebecca was awarded the Golden Tortilla in 1994.
