Juanita's / Juantonio's is the GOAT

@xnonsuchx 4 месяца назад

I usually go for the Jaunita’s because they have more of a fresh made taste like what you get in a Mexican restaurant. Plus they’re not as expensive as Tostitos. The only minor thing against them is that they are a bit oilier than other chips.

@GorgeousRoddyChrome 4 месяца назад

I like those too, but if you ever come across El-Milagro's "Thin-Style Totopos w/ Sea Salt" or Julio's "Original Seasoned" hope you can give them a try. It's been a while since trying El-Milagro, but remember them being slightly better than the thin Tostitos Cantina variety. Still, you may have trouble sourcing them. I (luckily) found Julio's today and could easily eat these delicate, lightly seasoned chips plain -- and would gladly buy them again. Now I have to find Juanita's (Juantonio's), given all of the positive comments.

No accounting for taste, or preference as my choice is Calidad. They're always fresh/crispy, and cost way less than the name brands! Calidad has 3 different chips, the yellow being the regular corn tortilla corn chips, red being restaurant style, and white being made from white corn, whatever that is? I prefer the red, or yellow bag as the white corn chips are milder, and don't have enough corn flavor which may be preferable to some. I will try the Tostitos, but I don't hold out much hope as I find brand names are usually stale, or not as crispy, and cost twice as much!

These are all widely-available commodity brands. And I get that. It’s unrealistic to try to test all of the regional varieties and smaller companies.

There’s a preponderance of smaller producers these days I have to imagine there’s something similar in almost every market. Seek out better producers than Frito Lay. You deserve it.

About five years ago, we were having guests over, and at the last minute we discovered that we had no tortilla chips. I had never even thought about making my own chips, but we did have corn tortillas, so I heated a pot of oil and dropped in some tortilla wedges. In a matter of seconds, we had tortilla chips that easily blow away anything found in a bag, and for a fraction of the cost. I have not bought another bag of chips since. When I am making chips, I sometimes fry up a few whole tortillas for chalupas.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!??? Juanita‘s are one of the best chips out there. Tostitos taste 100% manufactured to me. But then again, middle America doesn’t really know real Mexican food.

@AshkenaziChristian 4 месяца назад

If you want a sturdy, fresh chip - and usually cheaper than buying a bag of pre-made chips - then buy the cheapest package of corn tortillas you can find. Take a stack of the tortillas and cut them into a plus "+" sign, so there are 4 chips per tortilla, then put them on a cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes and voila! You've made FRESH tortilla chips - they are not oily yet fresh and ready to eat with your homemade guacamole!
