Tortilla Strips

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain crispness. For longer storage, an airtight container in the pantry is best.

Use them as a crunchy topping for chili, tortilla soup, or loaded nachos.

Layer them in enchiladas or casseroles for an added textural element.

Crush them and use as a breading for chicken or fish.

If store-bought, check the ingredients for added flavors or seasonings you might not want.

Soups: Tortilla soup, black bean soup, chili

Salads: Taco salad, Tex-Mex salads

Dips: Guacamole, salsa, queso

Casseroles: Enchilada casserole, layered dips

Storing them in a non-airtight container, leading to staleness.

Adding them to very wet dishes too early, causing them to become soggy.
