The Bottom of the Bag

It's nacho time again, and especially with the Super Bowl that has just passed you probably had a few leftovers, including those poor little nacho chips in the bottom of the bag that got so crushed that they're too little to dip. So what do you do? Throw them away? Nay I say! Save them!

These little nacho chips (or even plain potato chips) can be crushed further and used as bread crumbs; it'll add that extra crispiness and flavour to your dishes.

I usually put them away in a Ziploc bag so they don't go stale until I've saved up enough (usually what's left of the bottom of 2 nacho chip bags works).

Note: Since nacho chips are usually salted, if the breading recipe calls for salt to be added I just leave it out.
