오늘은 간단히 준비할게 뭐 있나 찾아보다가 칩스와 살사 딥을 준비했습니다. 한국은 심심할 때 오징어와 땅콩을 먹듯이 이곳에서는 간단한 스낵으로 자주 먹습니다. 어떤 사람은 식사 대용으로도 먹지요. 암튼 오늘은 아주 간단하게... 심플하게..

History

The triangle shaped tortilla chip was popularized by Rebecca Webb Carranza as a way to make use of misshapen tortillas rejected from the automated tortilla manufacturing machine that she and her husband used at their Mexican delicatessen and tortilla factory in southwest Los Angeles. Carranza found that the discarded tortillas, cut into triangles and fried, were a popular snack, and she sold them for a dime a bag at the El Zarape Tortilla Factory. In 1994, Carranza received the Golden Tortilla award for her contribution to the Mexican food industry.^[1] .

[edit]Tortilla chips in Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine

Tortilla chips are the quintessential and often complimentary appetizer in Tex-Mex and Mexican restaurants in the U.S. and elsewhere. Their popularity outside of California saw a steady rise in the late 1970s when they began to compete with corn chips, the dipping chip of choice during the first three quarters of the 20th century. They are typically served with a dip, such as salsa, chili con queso, or guacamole. When not served with a dip, the chips are often seasoned with herbs and spices. Although they are now available worldwide, the United States is one of the main markets for tortilla chips. Commercial brand names for tortilla chips include Phileas Fogg snacks, Tostitos, Doritos, and Don Tacos (in Japan).

A more elaborate dish utilizing tortilla chips is nachos. First created circa 1943 by Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, ^[3][4][5] nachos is tortilla chips served with melted or shredded cheese, although often other toppings are added or substituted, such as meat, salsa (such as pico de gallo), refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, diced onions, olives, and pickled jalapenos. More elaborate nachos are often baked for a short period of time to warm the tortillas and melt shredded cheese.

[edit]Corn chips contrasted with tortilla chips

A similar fried corn snack is the corn chip, which is not made from a tortilla, but from corn meal which has been processed into a particular shape, typically a small scoop. Fritos are an example of this.^[6]The principal difference between the corn in tortilla and corn chips is that the corn in a tortilla chip has undergone a process known as nixtamalization, which involves processing the raw corn withquicklime.^[7] Note that both tortilla and corn chips are referred to as "corn chips" in Australia and Oceania.^{[citation needed]} The tortilla chips main market would fall within that of the potato chip or 'crisps'.
