corn chip

Crunchy maize snack

A corn chip is a crispy snack food made from cornmeal, typically fried or baked into small, flat pieces.

Unlike tortilla chips, which are cut from corn tortillas, corn chips are extruded or shaped directly from corn dough, giving them a denser, crunchier texture: a bowl of corn chips and salsa, Fritos are the classic corn chip.
