Yep, here they are. The best tortilla chips I have ever eaten. How many bags of tortilla chips have you bought which turned out to be a colossal disappointment? Okay, maybe colossal is a bit much, but I know that I've thrown out more commercial brands of chips than I've eaten. Most of them are stale, thick and overly salted. I'm spoiled by warm restaurant tortilla chips and the little hole-in-the-wall Mexican taquerias around here. But I digress... I found these amazing organic tortilla chips at Publix in the GreenWise section. Sure, they're $3.99 a bag, but I guarantee you will eat them all. They are thin and crispy and light as a feather. Lightly salted, they are excellent with salsa or my own solution to pico de gallo that's too hot: mix it with sour cream to cool the heat and dip away! I've been buying the lightly salted version, but they also have hot & spicy lime flavor and blue corn tortilla chips. I told Ariela about them and when I said they were the ultimate corn tortilla chips, she laughed. She explained that there is a funny expression in Nicaragua: la ultima coca-cola del desierto (literally the last coca-cola in the desert). Loosely translated, it is essentially our American expression: all that and a bag of chips.
Well, this bag of chips is all that.
yummm...I'll be on the lookout.
