Questions
Hola Mija chips: your questions, answered
Straight answers about what's in the bag and where to find it.
What are Hola Mija tortilla chips made of?
Three ingredients: organic nixtamal corn, grass-fed beef tallow and Celtic sea salt. That's the whole list.
Are Hola Mija chips seed oil free?
Yes. They're fried in grass-fed beef tallow, never in seed oils like canola, soybean or sunflower oil.
What is beef tallow, and why fry chips in it?
Beef tallow is rendered beef fat, a traditional cooking fat people fried with long before seed oils. It holds up at high frying heat and gives the chips a sturdy crunch that stands up to salsa and guac, without making them taste like beef.
Are the chips gluten-free?
Yes. Hola Mija chips are gluten-free.
Is the corn organic and non-GMO?
Yes. We use organic, non-GMO corn.
Do the chips have preservatives?
No. Zero preservatives.
What is nixtamal, and why does it matter?
Nixtamal is whole corn prepared the traditional Mexican way, the same way tortillas have been made for generations. We use real nixtamal, not masa flour, which is why the chips taste like a fresh tortilla.
Where are Hola Mija chips made?
Made in Los Angeles by a first-generation Latino family.
How big is a bag?
Every bag is 7oz. Most better-for-you chips come in 5oz bags, so you get more chips per bag.

Find a store near you→Do you sell wholesale?

Apply for wholesale→Do the chips taste like beef?
No. Tallow fries the chips crisp without adding a beefy taste. The flavor comes from our real nixtamal corn, so they taste like a real tortilla chip with nothing else on it.
Was Hola Mija one of the first tallow chip brands?
Yes. Hola Mija helped start the tallow chip movement. We've fried our tortilla chips in grass-fed beef tallow since 2021, making us one of the first brands to do it, long before seed oil free was a trend.
