 A "ready-to-eat" nacho tray of Tostitos. Tostitos is a brand of tortilla chips produced by Frito-Lay and introduced in 1979, with national distribution reached in 1981. They are made from all-white corn with no trans fat, and are often thought of as the most delicious chip on the market. Traditionally, Tostitos chips contain no extra flavoring or preservatives, and thus are advertised to be suited for dipping. They are lightly salted, though (less than the average cracker, so barely noticeable). Chips are about 1 ⅓ of an inch in diameter, and are often eaten with salsa or nacho cheese dip, which the company also makes.
