Blue Corn Tortilla Chips Recipes

Blue corn tortilla chips are crisp, earthy, and slightly nutty, with a striking deep blue-purple color that makes simple recipes feel more vibrant. They are a pantry staple for dips, nachos, taco night, and quick appetizers, but they can also add crunch and corn flavor to cooked dishes. Use them as a sturdy base for loaded nachos, a scoop for salsa and guacamole, or a topping for tortilla soup, chili, casseroles, and taco salads. Crushed blue corn chips also work well as a gluten-free-style breadcrumb alternative for coating chicken, fish, tofu, or baked vegetables. For the best texture in recipes, add blue corn tortilla chips at the end unless you want them softened, as in chilaquiles or layered bakes. Their bold color pairs especially well with bright toppings like lime crema, pico de gallo, queso fresco, avocado, roasted corn, and black beans.
