Plain tortilla chips are for dipping. Do you use the cheese ones for salsa...?

Absolutely. They're tastier. Natural ones taste like cardboard
That must be a really shit brand because good tortilla chips are delicious
If its the brand in the photo in the post its one of the longest running in NZ and OP is right they have no flavour at all. But we do have good tortilla chip brands in NZ now (for ages it was basically this brand and Doritos/CCs), and the plain ones are much better and def delicious.
I took for granted my proximity to Mexico... Now I feel guilty for rubbing it in OP's face. I'm sorry, New Zealand!
Heh, well yes - even our best brands from specialty online retailers or restaurants probably aren't going to compare to what you can get! Its got a lot better in the last decade though, I think anyway i've not had the opportunity to try the real thing.
Natural tortilla chips have corn and salt. I doubt the cheese variant has just cheese. It even any cheese
See, these natural chips don't have salt. They have a lightly salted variety and it is delicious
You can put cheese dust on cardboard, but it's still cardboard.
I'd say the opposite tbh.
Even when I’m coating them in cheese and grilling them. Still gonna use the cheese ones.
Nobody says no to double cheese.
Exactly, you get me. I was inspired to make this meme when someone else made nachos and grilled natural corn chips with cheese on top. I always use the cheese ones and was so excited, but then it was natural... Had cheese on it though so it was still all right
Is not cheese though, it's cheese flavoured dust.
Still delicious
Cretin 😂 (j/k)
Try a different brand, Me Hiko, Go Nutz, or Tostitos plain are all much better than Mexicano. There are some other brands out there but I forget the names at the moment and those 3 are usually available in the supermarkets.
I will try them thank you!
corn chips should taste like corn.
Brand in photo doesn't taste of anything, but yeah good corn chips taste like they were made from freshly made corn tortilla and are great, plain or flavoured.
You ain’t tasted nothing until you’ve tasted a corn chip right off the line.
I like them plain. I also like crisps plain and ideally low salt and not so greasy.
Yeah me too, the Heartland Nearly Nude 50% Reduced Salt are my favourites, they taste like Potato, not salt.
I haven't tried those yet. I'll get some the next time.
Personally If I want to eat a lot of tortilla chips, I get the 1KG bags from Tio Pablo, no "cheese" flavour though!
Used to love the mexicano ones but they're not as good as they used to be. Also their Jalapeno flavour is barely spicy, even my 2 year old can eat it.
The propercrisp ones are real yum
I'll definitely try those out
These are not "Natural" flavoured they are unflavoured, i.e. natural - it is up to the user to add flavours, i.e. via spicy sauce and seasoning to suit. They are the best type if a person has any kind of cooking capability. The flavoured ones are overly salty. The jalapeno ones admittedly are very moreish, but that salt remains a concern.
