De La Vega Corn Tortilla Chips

At De La Vega Tortillas, we believe in honoring tradition while prioritizing health. Our corn chips are made exclusively from nixtamalized heirloom corn — not ground corn.

Nixtamalization is an ancient process where the corn is cooked and steeped in an alkaline solution. This breaks down hemicellulose, improves flavor, and enhances the nutritional quality of the corn. Unlike conventional ground corn, nixtamalized corn allows for better mineral absorption, reduces harmful mycotoxins, and creates a uniquely satisfying crunch in every bite. It’s a difference you can taste and feel good about.

We fry our chips in 100 % pure olive oil, never seed oils or animal products. Each batch is cooked below the oil’s smoke point to preserve its natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. This gentle method maintains rich flavor, prevents the formation of harmful compounds, and ensures every chip is as healthy as it is delicious.

We’re proud to offer you a clean, vegan, gluten-free, and preservative-free chip made with pure ingredients — because at De La Vega Tortillas, you’re family.

Now available for nationwide shipping and subscriptions, so you can enjoy a truly authentic, better-for-you Mexican corn chip anytime.

Olive Oil or Tallow? Let’s Talk Healthy Frying.

You may see some brands using beef tallow. It has a high smoke point and works great for super high-heat frying.

We take a different approach.

We fry our heirloom-corn tortilla chips in 100% pure olive oil, and we keep the oil below its smoke point.
Why does that matter?

🌿 Olive oil benefits

• Protective antioxidants
• Heart-healthy fats
• Naturally anti-inflammatory
• Light, clean taste

🐄 Tallow benefits

• Heat-stable
• Rich, heavy flavor

But tallow is high in saturated fat and lacks the antioxidants olive oil provides.

We choose clean, simple, heart-supportive ingredients — the way food should be.
