Tortilla Chips are a crunchy snack made from tortillas. They come in two forms: a packaged bag from a shop, and home-made chips sliced from a Tortilla. The packaged bag is packed with calories for its light weight.
The packaged bag keeps without spoiling, while home-made chips go stale within a few days. Bags turn up in Mexican kitchens, snack machines, cafeterias and corner stores. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
Both forms lower hunger by 15. The packaged bag holds 420 calories, with 42 grams of carbohydrates and 40 grams of fat. That makes it an excellent way to put weight on an underweight character. It is a poor choice for one who is already heavy.
Home-made chips are much lighter on energy. They hold 120 calories, with 6 grams each of protein and fat. They are just as filling, but far less fattening.
Neither form affects mood, so the chips make an easy snack on the move. The packaged bag is light and keeps, which suits a travel bag.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
The Slice Tortilla recipe makes home-made chips. It cuts one Tortilla into chips with a knife or a meat cleaver, which is kept. The home-made chips can then be toasted in 5 minutes, and they burn after 10. A microwave is a poor choice for them. The packaged chips are ready to eat as they come.

Notes
- A packaged bag holds 420 calories, so it helps an underweight character gain weight fast.
- Snack machines are a reliable early place to find a bag of chips.
- Slicing a Tortilla gives home-made chips that are three times as filling as the flatbread.
- Home-made chips go stale fast, so they are best eaten soon.
