tortilla chips

Salsa's crunchy vehicle

Tortilla chips are crisp, triangular pieces of fried or baked corn tortilla, typically salted and served with salsa, guacamole, or other dips.

They're the foundation of nachos and a staple of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine: We ordered chips and salsa while we looked at the menu.
