"National" Days Definition

National Tortilla Chip Day

Date When Celebrated : This holiday is always February 24

Today is a holiday with a crunch. One might even suggest that it is a corny holiday. Well, that's okay because today is National Tortilla Chip Day. Just a few decades ago, Americans seldom ate corn chips and salsa. It's popularity has grown immensely. Today is a tribute to the rising popularity of what has now become one of America's favorite munchies.

Did you know? The corn chip recipe was brought to the U.S. from Mexico by Texas businessman Elmer Doolin. 

Celebrate National Tortilla Chip Day with a handful of crunchy, tasty corn chips and your favorite salsa or dip.
