Tuesday’s Tips: Pick up a bag of Cabo Chips!!

Happy National Tortilla Chip Day!  These chips, made from corn tortillas, cut into wedges, and then fried, were first mass-produced in Los Angeles in the late 1940s.  Rebecca Webb Carranza popularized these chips as a way to use the misshapen tortillas that were rejected from the automated tortilla manufacturing machine in her family’s Mexican restaurant.  The chips became a widely popular snack.  Since the 1940s, many versions of these chips have been made by many brands, but my favorite brand is Cabo Chips®.  These deliciously authentic tortilla chips were born in Baja, inspired by the beautiful beaches and colorful city of Cabo San Lucas.  These chips are a unique fusion of the old and the new, and are cooked in the traditional way – kettle cooked from stone ground tortillas – then made fresh with vivid flavors and unexpected combinations for a taste sensation that’s seemingly endless.  Cabo Chips® are made with no GMO’s and  no preservatives.   Read below about the two original flavors and two new flavors Cabo Chips® have added to their family.

The Perfect Chip?  Cabo Chips® original tortilla chip is made from stone ground, 100% non-GMO white corn tortillas are hand cooked in small batches of non-GMO expeller pressed oils.  The tortillas are then splashed with the perfect balance of preservative free soy sauce and real lime juice, which results in an intriguingly flavorful chip that’s lower in fat and sodium than other chip brands.

Cabo Chips, a cantina style chip inspired by the beaches of Mexico, is right on trend with the launch of two new unique flavors that are both mouthwateringly delicious and surprisingly healthy – Churro and Mango Chili Lime.
