National Corn Chip Day is here, as it is every January 29th. While foodies prepare their favorite dips and toppings, and marketing specialists try to sell their brands, let's pose the question: What is the story behind this snack of Mexican heritage in the U.S.?"
Corn chips are crispy snacks made from corn dough, commonly found in retail stores. They are distinct from 'Tortilla chips,' which have their own day in the U.S. — celebrated on February 24th for almost any recipe imaginable. Tortilla chips are predominantly served in Mexican, Texan-Mexican, and Latin American restaurants alongside a variety of sauces.
