Turn a Gourmet Snack into a Gourmet Dinner!




Whale Tails Tortilla Chips are not just healthy and delicious snacks. They can also be transformed into healthy and delicious dinners. Here's a couple ideas for turning our gourmet snacks into gourmet dinners with ease.
Nachos
This one may seem a bit obvious, but have you tried your favorite nacho recipe with our Whale Tails Tortilla Chips? With flavors ranging from original yellow corn to blue corn to plenty of others, you can spice up those bland, same old-same old recipes for nachos in your house. Plus, Whale Tails Tortilla Chips aren't just delicious and different; they are healthy as well. They are non-gmo project verified and made from organically grown corn. This means you can feel a little less bad about adding that extra cheese or salsa to your nacho dinner.
Tortilla Chip Casserole
Here's an easy idea for when you have that last third of the bag of chips just laying around or maybe just the crumbs at the very bottom of the bag. There are plenty of recipes for this online that go into more detail, but let's run it down real quick here. You start by putting a can of sliced tomatoes into a baking sheet. You then spice it up with whatever flavors your prefer and then add black beans. Next you mix a variety of liquids like milk and sour cream and add it in with the tortilla chips on top of the tomatoes and beans. Cook at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, take it out, add a layer of cheese, let it melt and presto! You just made yourself a tasty dinner that's even better with the yummy and fun Whale Tails Tortilla Chips.
These are just a few of the ideas for dinner recipes involving Whale Tails Tortilla Chips. If you'd like to try these or come up with your own dinner concoction then contact us today.

3 Colleges that Turn Tailgate Parties into an Art


As sure as football season brings in throngs of frothing fanatics to the bumper, camping out with bags of Whale Tails Tortilla Chips and bratwurst in hand in the most traditional way, there will always be college students with unique ideas on how to make tailgating an art.

Take for example The University of Washington. On the cold, jagged waters of Lake Washington, situated near the east end of the stadium resides moored boats. And on game day, these boats become a makeshift parking lot filled to the bow and stern with Huskies drinking and cajoling. What the Husky Harbor lacks in concrete, they make up for with ingenuity. Truly original.

Travel to the East Coast and you'll find the venerable, old soul known as Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish dress up their events with good old fashioned Irish revelry. Dressing up tables with Irish floral arrangements, donning traditional garb, drinking Irish beer and eating Irish food. Wonder if they could use some Whale Tails Tortilla Chips and salsa to mix things up with?

Finally, we head to the Deep South, the culturally-rich geographic sub-region where Louisiana State lives and, according to some, actually breathes. LSU students have turned tailgate cooking into a professional arena. They have replaced typical tailgating dishes like hot dogs with ribs; scrapped hamburgers for jambalaya; and turned bratwurst into roasted pig. Honestly... roasted pig. Who knew LSU was more than a great place to go to school and a superb football team?

For more information on our natural, organic, non gmo project verified and gluten-free tortilla chips that will turn your next tailgate party into an experience to remember, contact us anytime.

Why Corn Chips Are More Healthy Than Flour Chips

Have you ever thought about the difference between flour tortillas and corn tortillas or the difference between flour tortilla chips and corn tortilla chips? There are some astronomical differences. Not only are corn tortilla chips much better for you, but they taste even better! Whale Tails Tortilla Chips are non-gmo project verified and come from organically grown corn. Here are some of the differences between a corn tortilla chip like ours and a regular flour based tortilla chip.

Calories

Corn tortillas typically have about 70 calories while flour tortillas usually have about 150. In other words: with corn tortilla chips, you can intake less than half the calories as flour tortilla chips.

Fat

Corn tortillas typically have 1 gram of fat versus 3.5 grams of fat in flour tortillas. 1.5 of those grams of fat in flour tortillas are saturated fat which is typically considered the worst kind for your diet.

Ingredients

Corn tortillas are typically only made from simple ingredients like water and corn flour. They are wheat and gluten free which are huge pluses. Meanwhile, one flour tortilla can amount to 20% of your daily sodium intake. Whale Tails Tortilla Chips, like most other corn based tortilla chips, are non-gmo project verified and organically grown from corn.

These are just a handful of the benefits of choosing corn tortilla chips over flour tortilla chips. However, besides being healthy, you'll know after trying some of our Whale Tails Tortilla Chips that these chips are more than healthy. They are delicious! And did we mention fun? Those two are the most important factors to include on any diet. These healthy snacks got it all so contact us today.

Mission Driven-Whale Tails Tortilla  Chips

You too can allow your snack chips to have a purpose. Whale Tails Tortilla Chips are snack foods with a mission and a purpose. These premium chips are invested in the purpose, to save the oceans. This is one of the only chip companies that are mission driven.

 The ocean is slowly being choked with pollutants of a man made variety. It is a fact that a staggering amount of waste enters the sea every year. This is something that has only been an issue for the past 60 years. Plastic bags, rings and man made pollutants now pollute our oceans. In addition to the pollutants added to the ocean on a daily basis, oceans are consistently over-fished leading to the possible depletion of all species by the year 2048. This would be a catastrophe for all those that rely on fish as a major source of protein.

Many people also rely on the oceans as a livelihood and find it to be their main source of income. This is the reason that oceans need to be completely protected.  Many people feel a need to do what they can to protect and save the seas.

Purchasing these chips is one of the ways you can enjoy a delicious snack that is designed to allow you to contribute toward saving the ocean in a most appetizing and health conscious way. Our chips are considered to be mission driven since much of the proceeds go to foundations entrusted with saving the ocean.

The best thing about our chips is that they are pure deliciousness with a purpose. Premium and healthy ingredients are used in our chips to make sure they are a delicious and nutritious fast food alternative. These chips allow you to take something as mundane as dips for chips and make it into a tasty alternative with a mission.

Those of us at Whale Tail Chips consider ourselves to be stewards of the sea, and devote a portion of our profits  toward ocean protection and conservation,contact us for ways to purchase these chips and contribute toward the well being of the seas.
