Don't throw out those last few little pieces of tortilla chips left in the bag - put them in a plastic bag and freeze them for recipes. They work great in Mexican casseroles or tortilla soup!

Mom always used to save the plain potato chip crumbs for topping on tuna fish casserole. We thought it was a treat.
Chips can go rancid because of the grease or oil used in cooking them. Either save them in the freezer or use them up immediately. patsAZ
I put throw them into any Mexican-style soup or salad just before eating.
Yummy taco salad ~ grab some lettuce a little leftover meat ( crumbled beef, chicken or even pork). I even love to add leftover rice & then sprinkle with cheese & tomatoes.
A meal I look forward to is using the crumbs from tortilla chips for breakfast (you could have this for any meal, though). I add the tortilla chip crumbs to beaten eggs - about a quarter-cup of crumbs to each egg but you can experiment for the ratio you prefer. More chips-to-egg ratio is a drier dish. I like to let the crumbs/egg mixture soak for about 5 minutes but you might prefer to let it soak longer or not at all. To that mixture I might add cheese, onions, bacon, ham, sausage, mushrooms, jalapenos, green onions, bell pepper, feta, tomatoes or just about anything else you might like. Dump everything in a medium hot skillet that has been greased with either butter, olive oil or bacon fat and cook to your desired level of doneness.
