Product Information

The first time I made these, I thought they needed to be crispy when they came out of the oven, so I cooked them until they were crispy. By the time they cooled they were so hard I thought I might break a tooth on them! Oops! Just remember they are still tender when they come out, and they crisp right up in a few minutes as they cool. Storage The ridged crisps offered “unique and tempting flavours” and had been designed to “bolster growth of the McCoy’s brand, while strengthening its flavour credentials”, said the brand. They were “perfectly positioned to attract younger shoppers”, who were “influenced by flavours when making purchasing decisions”. Our hometown - Tucson, Arizona - is the birthplace of this simple culinary delight, and specifically El Charro restaurant, my all-time favorite place to eat.

These are best eaten the same day, but store surprisingly well if it isn't humid. Store in an airtight container for 1-5 days at room temperature.Yes, you can. Just be sure to put them in a freezer-safe, airtight container to keep out any moisture. You can eat them straight from the freezer, but they are even better if warmed in the oven (see above). Last, and most importantly, keep a box of baking soda within arm’s reach at all times. Baking soda will put out a grease fire. Water will only make it worse.

Some companies bake their chips to get that light, crispy texture, while others fry them to get that wonderful crunch. Still, others will both bake and fry their chips to attain that perfect texture. In 1941, in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, the very first version of nachos was created specifically for a gathering of US military officers’ wives at a local restaurant called the Victory Club.

Lighter Churro Chips Resembling Mexican rice pudding, arroz con leche is a delightful and uncomplicated dessert you can easily make by combining rice with milk or water, garnished with raisins, cinnamon, and various other flavorings. Next, only fill the pan up half-way full with oil. Once you add the food the oil bubbles up and you don’t want it to be so full that it boils over.

It is then served in small cups and garnished with lime juice, chili peppers, or cotija cheese. Mayonnaise, sour cream, and chili powder can also be served on the side. 11.

The texture isn't quite as good and the sugar doesn't caramelize, but they are still delicious! The water does tend to grab on to more of the cinnamon sugar mixture, so we just recommend making sure you have a very thin coating of water. Substitutions and Variations

Granulated Brown Sugar- substitute white sugar for granulated brown sugar which is drier than regular granulated sugar and will give it a nice almost caramel-y flavor. Precooked Flour Tortillas - we understand that sometimes it can be hard to find raw tortillas. While we highly recommend using raw tortillas for the best flavor and texture, you can use precooked in a pinch. The first step is to combine your spice mix in a small bowl. If you don’t want to make your own spice mix you can use Tajín or hot sauce instead. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place tortilla wedges on parchment paper. Bake 12-15 minutes, just until the edges start to turn golden. The tortillas will still be tender, but will turn crunchy as they cool. After they've cooled, dip in your favorite sauce or eat alone!
