Best tortilla chips for nachos

Tostitos Natural Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips

*Est. $3 for 9.5 ounces Compare Prices

Reviews say that these crunchy tortilla chips are fairly salty, with a strong toasted-corn aroma and flavor. Critics say that Tostitos Natural Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips are ideal for nachos -- not only are they wide, but… they really stand up to gooey cheeses and heavy nacho toppings. They do have one drawback, however: They're too big for easy dipping, reviews say.

Best tortilla chips for dipping

Santitas White Corn Restaurant Style Chips

*Est. $3 for 16 ounces Compare Prices

Like Tostitos Yellow Corn, Santitas White Corn Restaurant Style Chips are said to be sturdy and very crunchy, with just the right amount of salt. And while they pack plenty of corn flavor, they are slightly lighter in… texture and smaller in size than Tostitos Natural, making them more dip-friendly. Some also prefer the lighter style and texture (although they have the same amount of calories and fat as yellow corn chips).
