These tortilla chips are perfect for a snack platter and go so well with whatever dip you choose. We have made them several times now as they are super easy to knock out in no time at all.
I am feeling slightly bereft. Usually at this time of the year I am finalising our overseas trip. Ordinarily, we travel over the last week of April and the first week of May. We have two public holidays in South Africa at this time, so we miss very few working days. But this year we are not heading overseas for a pre-winter break. The universe works in mysterious ways, and maybe it was just not meant to be. Our original plan was to visit Mark in The Netherlands in April, spending 10 days exploring the country. And then we would go to Italy in October to properly visit Naples. We have timeshare booked on a working wine farm in the North of Italy for the second week of October. So the plan was to drive up the coast and see new places.
But, when our December plans included a trip to Croatia we decided that three overseas holidays in one year was just too much. And had we known about Croatia before we booked in Italy, we would probably have gone in May as planned. But as I say, the universe works in mysterious ways. The world has been hit with a serious virus. One so bad that the South African Government put a travel ban in place and declared a national state of disaster. This was done before it became a pandemic in South Africa but it would have meant that we could not have travelled next week. A few of the restrictions put in place included self isolation, gatherings of more than 100 people prohibited and school closures. This quickly changed a to full lockdown which started on the 26th of March.
I am passionate about using regional, seasonable and sustainable produce when I cook. I live in Gordons Bay with my husband and dogs. We visit new places locally and overseas as often as we can to experience the food of the area. Follow along on our adventures!

I haven’t worked with hasa marina before, so I am curious to try it out! Love tortilla chips and dip 🙂
I experimented with tortillas for a while, using a tortilla press. I could make ok flour tortillas, but never managed to succeed with masa. So I’m impressed that your chips look so good.

be well… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae. I would love to try using a tortilla press.
I used to make my own tortillas. Goodness, no wonder my hands have worn out! But masa harina makes wonderful tortillas.
I just need a press to get them thin enough.
I would have never thought to make my own tortilla chips, but this recipe looks quite easy, and the results look quite tasty.
And sorry to hear about your canceled travel plans…
It really is so easy.
Thanks for this. Always looking for gluten free ideas and have some masa flour. We have extended to May 2 so far.
Are you also in South Africa? Glad you have the flour and hope these work out perfectly for you?
I’ve never tried making my own tortilla chips but you’ve inspired me. Yours look yummy.

Thank you Amalia 🙂
The world is just so crazy now isn’t it? Sorry to hear about your travel plans. I’m hoping 2021 will be a great year for travel.
I’m just hoping we get to travel this year!
I don’t have the ingredients for this at the moment, TAndy, but I would like to try it out sometime.
I am not sure I would go out and buy this flour. I could send you some in August.
I’ll have to look up chimichurri..
It’s become my new favourite 🙂
Thank you so much Tandy! Really appreciate! I love it!
Thanks Mohamed 🙂
