Today you can look up just about any restaurant
delivery menu (https://rotr.com/)
and
find chips and salsa somewhere on it. And while this appetizer is usually
thought of as being a Mexican dish, did you know that the tortilla chip
actually originates in Los Angeles, California?
It’s true. Even though people in Mexico have been
using tortillas since the beginning of time in many of their most famous (and
many not so well-known) dishes, it wasn’t until they hit L.A. It was during
that time that the tortillas that were commonly used in the Southwestern United
States made their way into California. It didn’t take long until in the 1940s
they hit Los Angeles. From there they were cut up, fried up, and served up as
delicious salty snacks. Tortillas that are used in authentic Mexican dishes are
usually made from flour where the ones used for chips are generally corn
tortillas. And even though the chips first started being dished up in Los
Angeles, they are still classified as a Mexican dish, as they are often served
with salsa (a Mexican condiment,) and because the tortilla does originate from
Mexico.
The chips are still thriving in California though and
are a favorite among many Los Angeles residents. While they were once
considered a restaurant specialty, they’re now available on many Los Angeles
food delivery (https://rotr.com/Information/Restaurants.aspx?areaId=5)
menus
and are great whether you’re looking to order in for a birthday party, office
food delivery (https://rotr.com/Restaurant.aspx), or just when
you want a snack!
