Whether you’re dipping tortilla chips into spicy corn salsa, creamy artichoke dip, or using them as the base for cheesy, beefy nachos, these corn-based crisps add a satisfying crunch and a hint of saltiness to so many classic comfort foods. But when you head to the grocery store, you’ll find a vast array of options lining the shelves, and it can get pretty overwhelming to know which one to buy.

I’ll admit, I usually don’t put much thought into choosing tortilla chips when grocery shopping and often just grab whatever bag is on sale. Though there have definitely been times when I’ve picked up a chip that seems appealing, only to find it lacks flavor. Or worse, a crisp that’s so flimsy it practically disintegrates as soon as I dip it into a creamy dip or load it up with cheese and toppings. To help you avoid that fate, I tested 11 different types. Below, you’ll discover my subjective ranking of the ones I think truly deserve a spot in your cart.
