I love dips, so when Manomasa sent me their tortilla chips to try, it seemed like a good excuse to buy some. Manomasa Tortilla Chips are available in three flavours: Chipotle & Lime, White Cheddar, and Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper. Each variety has a distinctive shape (designed forContinue Reading
