love this recipe in the Costco in England they don’t seel those chips what can I use instead
Hi Heather, you can use any flavored tortilla chips and even if you use plain chips, season the flour mixture with some spicy spices and even add diced jalapeños into the mix as well. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do. :)
