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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    I like them plain. I also like crisps plain and ideally low salt and not so greasy.

    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.

    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.
