What's inside

Three ingredients. That's the whole list.

MASA Original keeps it simple, so every ingredient has to earn its place.

  1. A wooden bowl of corn kernels

    Organic corn

    Organic, nixtamalized

    Prepared with mineral lime, then ground into masa, the dough every chip starts as.

  2. A wooden bowl of white beef tallow

    Grass-fed beef tallow

    Grass-fed and grass-finished

    Rendered beef fat with no additives. It's the only fat these chips are cooked in.

  3. A wooden bowl of coarse sea salt

    Sea salt

    A simple finish that lets the corn and the tallow do the talking.

No seed oils, no chemical preservatives and no artificial flavors.

How it's made

The tortilla chip, done the way it was always supposed to be.

It starts with nixtamalization, a traditional process that prepares corn with mineral lime before it's ground into masa. It's how tortillas have been made for thousands of years.

  1. Prepared with mineral lime

    Organic corn goes through nixtamalization, the traditional step that readies it to become masa.

  2. Ground into masa

    Then it's ground into masa, the dough behind every good corn tortilla.

  3. Cooked in beef tallow

    The chips are cooked in grass-fed beef tallow instead of seed oils, in our own facility.

  4. Finished with sea salt

    A finish of sea salt, and nothing else goes in.

    The gold standard for tortilla chips!

    In a consumer landscape riddled with poor quality ingredients, these chips deliver quality organic masa and grass-fed tallow. They’re also a thick sturdy chip that holds up to dipping, nachos, and chilaquiles. Spend the extra for the best chip on the market and feed your family well!
