National Tortilla Chip Day, In the News, and Enjoy

National Tortilla Chip Day - Today is National Tortilla Chip Day!

Rebecca Webb Carranza invented tortilla chips in the 1950s.

Carranza and her husband owned the El Zarape Tortilla Factory in Los Angeles and were among the first to automate the production of tortillas.

The machine often produced misshapen tortillas, and Carranza decided to try and use them instead of throwing them away.

She cut the rejected tortillas into triangles, fried them, and sold them for a dime a bag.

Tortilla chips soon became a nationwide sensation, served alongside salsa, chili, guacamole, and a variety of other appetizers.

In 2003, the state of Texas made the tortilla chip the official state snack.
