Today is...
National Tortilla Chip Day
It’s
National Tortilla Chip Day! Rebecca Webb Carranza invented tortilla
chips in the 1950s. Carranza and her husband owned the El Zarape
Tortilla Factory in Los Angeles and were among the first to automate the
production of tortillas. The machine often produced misshapen
tortillas, and Carranza decided to try and use them instead of throwing
them away. She cut the rejected tortillas into triangles, fried them,
and sold them for a dime a bag.
Tortilla
chips soon became a nationwide sensation, served alongside salsa,
chili, guacamole, and a variety of other appetizers. In 2003, the state
of Texas made the tortilla chip the official state snack!
To
celebrate National Tortilla Chip Day, buy a bag of your favorite
tortilla chips (or try making your own) and enjoy them with your
favorite dip!

"When people say to me: 'How do you do so many things?' I often answer
them, without meaning to be cruel: 'How do you do so little?' It seems
to me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary
things if they have the confidence to take the risks. Yet most people
don’t. They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on
forever."
--Phillip Adams
