Tortilla Chips from Corn Flour

Modern Convenience. Traditional Crunch.

Casa Herrera’s Tortilla Chip Systems are expertly engineered to support a wide range of production methods—including the efficient use of corn flour (masa harina). Whether you’re operating a high-output snack facility or scaling a growing chip brand, corn flour provides a flexible, cost-effective alternative to fresh nixtamal, delivering authentic taste and crisp texture with maximum production efficiency. This is done from a simple mix of corn flour (fine or coarse) and water. Mix % can be varied to accommodate to your preferred product consistency.

Efficient Tortilla Chip Production Using Corn Flour

When corn flour is blended with water (typically in a 50/50 ratio), it forms a reconstituted masa ideal for shaping, cutting, and frying into high-quality corn chips. Our systems are optimized to handle this masa with the same precision and consistency as fresh nixtamal masa—ensuring that every batch of chips meets your performance and quality standards.

With Casa Herrera’s chip lines, manufacturers can easily adjust water ratios or blend fresh masa with corn flour to achieve the ideal texture, flavor, and structural integrity required for various chip styles, packaging formats, and shelf life requirements.
