    MASA Cobanero Tallow Tortilla Chips – Spicy, Seed Oil Free

    A Bold, Heritage Spice with Real Heat

    MASA Cobanero tortilla chips bring a deeper kind of spice — made with Cobanero chili, a rare pepper rooted in Mayan tradition, and fried in grass-fed beef tallow, never seed oils.

    If you’re searching for spicy tallow tortilla chips with real ingredients and no artificial shortcuts, this is a category of its own.

    Why MASA Cobanero Chips Are Different

    Most spicy chips rely on artificial flavor systems and chemical enhancers. MASA does the opposite — using real ingredients that deliver both flavor and integrity.

    ✔ Made with authentic Cobanero chili, not artificial spice blends
    No maltodextrin, no lactic acid, no “natural flavors” shortcuts
    No nutritional yeast (MSG alternative)
    ✔ Fried in grass-fed beef tallow, never seed oils

    This is a seed oil free spicy chip that delivers heat the way it’s meant to — clean and balanced.

    The Story Behind Cobanero Chili

    Cobanero chili isn’t just another spice — it’s part of a long culinary tradition.

    • A rare chili dating back to the Mayans
    • Grown in a single region of Guatemala
    • Cultivated using traditional farming methods

    It brings a unique flavor profile: earthy, warm, and layered heat — not just surface-level spice.

    Clean Ingredients That Matter

    Every ingredient serves a purpose:

    • Organic corn
    • Grass-fed beef tallow
    • Cobanero chili
    • Sea salt

    No fillers. No artificial enhancers. Just real food with real flavor.

    How They Taste

    Expect a balanced, savory heat — not overpowering, but deeply satisfying.

    • A rich, crisp texture
    • Warm spice that builds gradually
    • A clean finish without chemical aftertaste

    Perfect on their own — or as a base for nachos and spice-forward meals.

    The Story behind MASA Chips

    MASA was founded by Steven Arena and Seth Goldstein, two friends whose idea started as a simple bet — could you make a better tortilla chip using only real, traditional ingredients? What followed was the beginning of something much bigger.

    Frustrated by the lack of clean options on the market, they set out to create a chip made with organic corn and grass-fed tallow, just as it would have been made generations ago. When they couldn’t find a manufacturer willing to meet their standards, they took matters into their own hands — building their own small-batch production from scratch to stay true to their vision.

    The result is MASA: a chip that’s crispy, satisfying, and made without seed oils, preservatives, or artificial additives — proving that simple ingredients can deliver better flavor and a better experience.

    MASA Chips FAQs

    What are MASA Chips made from?

    MASA Chips are made with just three ingredients: organic corn, grass-fed tallow, and sea salt.

    Are MASA Chips seed oil free?

    Yes — MASA Chips are 100% free of seed oils, using grass-fed tallow instead for frying.

    What is tallow and why is it used?

    Tallow is rendered beef fat rich in fat-soluble vitamins and traditionally used in cooking for its stability and flavor.

    What is nixtamalization?

    Nixtamalization is an ancient process that improves digestibility and nutrient absorption in corn, used for thousands of years in traditional food preparation.

    Are MASA Chips clean and natural?

    Yes — they contain no preservatives, no artificial flavors, and no pesticides in the corn, focusing on simple, traditional ingredients.

    Are MASA Chips good for everyday snacking?

    Yes — with their simple ingredients and satisfying crunch, they’re designed as a clean, filling alternative to conventional chips.

    Customers praised these tortilla chips as "delicious" with "perfect crunch" and thick, hearty texture. Made with quality ingredients and no seed oils, they're described as healthier and more filling than typical chips. The Cobanero flavor is well-seasoned with just the right spice level. However, the price point is a major concern.

    • The crunch is PERFECT and I love that they're a bit thicker than your average tortilla chip.
    • They have such a great flavor and the perfect crunch. Honestly addictive!
    • Super crunchy and I love that I know every single ingredient! The fiber in these chips is awesome!

    super addictive - my new fav tortilla chip!

    I recently bought and tried the Cobanero ones and WOW—these are sooo delicious! They’re coated in a slightly spicy, savory seasoning and it's packed with flavor. I love that they're also coated evenly too :DWhile they’d definitely pair perfectly with salsa or dip, I’ve honestly been eating them straight out of the bag because they’re that good. The crunch is PERFECT (super satisfying) and I love that they’re a bit thicker than your average tortilla chip. It makes them less likely to break when dipping. You can tell they’re high-quality from the first bite.I’ll definitely be stocking up on these. Highly recommend if youre looking for some really good tortilla chips

    Delicious.

    Not gonna lie these are delicious and you don’t feel like crap after eating them because they are actually made with real tallow. The bags are much bigger than I expected. The chips are not hard or sharp like some customers were saying. Amazing product.

    Delicious and Crunchy Chips

    These chips are a fantastic take on classic tortilla chips. With no seed oils they are truly healthy. I do not eat as many chips as they are very filling. I have these on order every three months! They are expensive but worth it. They will not go to waste.

    A worthy successor to Paqui in terms of flavor, but not in cost.

    Flavor is strong, salty, quite dusty and very pleasing. Chips are hearty and thick. All the ingredients come together in a unique and satisfying way, which is likely why they cost so much. You may be shocked at the portion in your bag upon arrival. Make sure you enjoy each chip to the fullest.

    They are thyme

    Oh yummy! They were fresh and had a great flavor. I like these just as much as Doritos. They are pricey what you get. I looked at our good food stores and they didn’t have them. Thank goodness for Amazon! Looking forward to trying the other flavors,

    Yum but very pricey

    Are these really really good? Yes. Definitely. So crunchy, such great texture, and solid flavor. Not to mention they truly do feel healthier than their contemporaries. But are they worth 15 dollars a bag? HELLLL NAHH

    Yummy and better for you!

    Love these! So tasty and I don’t feel as guilty eating them. They are a little pricey, but worth it IMO. I love the resealable bag to keep them fresh longer. I live alone so I don’t go through things like this super quick. I have also found that they are more filling than most other chips. Some brands I could eat a whole bag, but a handful of these satisfy that “crunch” craving! This flavor has just enough spice, but not too spicy. Excited to try other flavors!

    Delicious!

    These chips are delicious! They’re well seasoned, perfectly crisp, and they came packaged well so they weren’t broken up at all. I like that they use few ingredients too, unlike some other chip brands. They pair perfectly with some salsa too. Definitely recommend these!
