Corn chips are a snack food made from cornmeal fried in oil or baked, usually in the shape of a small noodle or scoop.

Corn chips are thick, rigid, very crunchy, have the strong aroma and flavor of roasted corn, and are often heavily seasoned with salt.

In the United States, Fritos is one of the oldest and most widely recognized brands of corn chips.

They are a common ingredient in homemade and commercial party mixes.

In the Southwestern US, a popular dish, Frito pie, is made with corn chips and chili.
