The bag
Flavor: Sea Salt (Original) · Net weight: 7 oz bag · Pack size: 1 bag
Hola Mija Beef Tallow Tortilla Chips are made the traditional way: organic corn is nixtamalized, pressed into tortillas, cut, and fried in grass-fed beef tallow, then finished with sea salt. Three ingredients, no seed oils.
The result is a thick, crunchy chip with a rich corn flavor that holds up to salsa, guacamole, queso, chilaquiles and nachos. Inspired by our abuelita, Mama Anita, and made in Los Angeles.

What is beef tallow?
- What it is
- Pure beef fat, slowly melted down and strained into a clean cooking fat. It stays stable at high heat, which is why it fries chips so crisp.
- Where it comes from
- Tallow is rendered from suet, the firm fat around a cow's kidneys. Ours comes from grass-fed cattle. It's what abuelas fried in before seed oils took over.
- What's in it
- Per 100 g, beef tallow is about 50 g saturated fat, 42 g monounsaturated and just 4 g polyunsaturated. It also has small amounts of vitamin E (2.7 mg) and vitamin D (0.7 µg), but a serving of chips only carries a trace, so we don't sell our chips as a vitamin source.
- Why not seed oils?
- Seed oils are loaded with polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs): about 28 g per 100 g in canola, 58 g in soybean and 66 g in sunflower oil, compared with 4 g in tallow.
- Does it taste like beef?
- Nope. Tallow just fries the chips crisp. The flavor comes from real nixtamal corn, so they taste like a real tortilla chip, with nothing else on it.
Figures per 100 g from USDA FoodData Central: beef tallow (#171400), canola (#172336), soybean (#171411) and sunflower oil, linoleic (#171025). USDA figures are for beef tallow in general, not grass-fed specifically.
