Corn chips are a type of snack food that is popularly eaten with dips, in chips 'n' dips. Corn chips are similar to tortilla chips in composition, as they are both made from corn, but the process of making them and the resulting end product are different.
Cornmeal is either fried in oil or baked to make corn chips. They are usually in the shape of a small scoop, which makes picking up dips with them easy, whereas the most common shape for tortilla chips is that of a triangle. They are crunchy in texture, and thicker and more rigid than tortilla chips are. Corn chips also tend to be saltier and have a stronger flavour.
As well as accompanying dips, they are also commonly eaten with chilli.
