    Does anyone know, other than the pilsen store location, where these can be purchased? Any grocery stores or outlets?
    I would even purchase the 3 pound box if I could find them.

    I'm talking about the seasoned white corn, not the totopos style sold in the paper bags at Jewel.

    Not much help to you on where to buy the chips, I do remember some chips being sold in the big boxes. It might have been Sam's, but I can't even say that they were the white corn chips.

    I've been unable to find large chips for making nachos, so I decided to make my own using the big packages of El Milagro white corn tortillas. It's pretty easy. Dry the tortillas in a 200 degree oven for ten minutes, cut them up with a scissors in 3 pieces and then deep fat fry them. They turn out really good. I don't think I'm ever going to buy the chips again.

    I buy the fresh store-made ones at the Morelia Supermarket in Rogers Park, cut 'em up, lay 'em out on a baking sheet, spray 'em with grapeseed oil spray, and bake at 375F for about 20 minutes, give or take. Much cleaner and easier than deep-frying, with virtually the same result.

    There's a regular vendor at the Frankfort Farmer's Market who sells the three pound boxes. He said that he purchases them directly from El Milagro. Perhaps you could do the same. FWIW the three pound box of chips lasted several weeks without going stale.
