I can't believe I haven't written about Have'A Corn Chips! These are the best chips I've ever had. I recently learned how to curb my addiction, but it's been hard. There was a period of time where I simply had to have them all the time. And it's always been impossible to avoid eating the entire bag in one sitting. Usually I'll finish them by the time I arrive home in the car from the market. Luckily they're slightly expensive, considering the amount inside. One bag will run you about $2 for a pretty small portion. M Cafe sells them for $3.25! I wonder if they're macrobiotic...They are made locally in Laguna Beach, so I've never seen them outside a few hour radius from Los Angeles. My sister looks forward to receiving them in the occasional vegan care packages I send her in Massachusetts.
So what makes these chips so good? They are made with soy sauce and lime. It's pretty subtle - they don't have an Asian flavor at all. And they're crispy.
I tried making my own once and failed miserably. I took some corn tortillas, cut them into triangles, sprinkled soy sauce over them, and baked them - awful! Maybe it's because I have no idea how to make chips in the first place and was just winging it.
I've also tried some knock-off versions of these chips that I found at Whole Foods and they were gross (sorry Cabo Chips, but you just don't compare). Nothing compares to Have'A Corn Chips!
