The chip your grandmother would recognize.

Organic corn. Beef tallow. Sea salt. That's the whole ingredient list. Fried the way chips used to be in our family's tortilla factory, the one my father built in 2009.

How a chip gets made.

01

Corn arrives

Whole organic kernels from family farms. We check every sack before it goes in.

★ TUESDAY · RECEIVING DOCK
02

Nixtamalization

Kernels are slow-cooked in lime water overnight. The hull softens, the flavor blooms.

★ 12 HOURS OVERNIGHT
03

Masa pressed

The softened corn gets ground into masa and pressed into tortillas on the same machine my dad bought in 2009.

★ PRESS #2, STILL RUNNING
04

Cut & fry

Hand-cut triangles. Fried in pure beef tallow rendered on-site. No seed oils, ever.

★ 385°F · 90 SECONDS
05

Sea salt finish

Flaked sea salt while still hot. Just enough to finish, not to drown.

★ 30 SECONDS FROM FRYER
06

Bagged fresh

Into the bag, sealed, boxed, shipped. From fryer to your door in under 72 hours.

★ SAME-DAY SHIP

"I cried on the first bite. Tastes exactly like the chips from the taquería by my grandma's house in East LA."

Our Story

Tortiyas wasn't created in a boardroom — it was born in a hospital room. Sitting beside my mother, I saw how the foods we trusted had quietly turned against us.

Common questions

Everything you'd want to ask.

Three ingredients: organic non-GMO corn, 100% pure rendered beef tallow, and sea salt. No seed oils, no preservatives, no 'natural flavors,' no anti-caking agents. That's the whole list — and it's printed on every bag.
Beef tallow is a stable, saturated fat that doesn't oxidize at high frying temperatures the way industrial seed oils (soybean, canola, sunflower) do. Oxidized seed oils are linked to inflammation. Tallow is nutrient-dense and contains fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. We're not making medical claims — we're saying it's the way chips were fried for a century before the seed oil industry took over.
Every bag is made in our family's factory in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, California. The same building my father built in 2009. We don't use co-manufacturers or outsource any step of the process.
Gluten-free: yes. Paleo: technically no (corn is excluded from strict paleo). Whole30: no (corn and salt levels). Keto-friendly: sparingly, depending on your carb tolerance. They are grain-forward, animal-fat-fried tortilla chips made from whole foods.
Unopened bags stay fresh for 60 days — we use no preservatives, so we ship small batches frequently instead. Once opened, re-seal the bag or transfer to an airtight container and eat within 10 days for best crunch.
Our tallow comes from US-raised cattle, hormone-free and antibiotic-free. We render it ourselves in small batches at the factory — not a commodity bulk tallow from an industrial renderer. You can taste the difference.
The whole list

Three ingredients. That's the whole list.

01

Organic corn

Non-GMO organic masa corn, nixtamalized the old way — slow-cooked in lime water until the hull softens and the kernel gives up its flavor.

Sourced from family farms
02

Beef tallow

100% pure rendered beef tallow. High smoke point, rich flavor, stable fat. The way chips were fried for a century before seed oils showed up.

Hormone-free, grass-supplemented
03

Sea salt

Hand-flaked sea salt. Just enough to finish the chip — not to drown it. You'll taste the corn first, which is the whole point.
