In the late 1940's the El Zarape Tortilla Factory, based in Los Angeles California, was among the first factories to automate the production of tortillas. Corn and flour discs were made more the 12 times faster than when it was done by hand, but many were bent or misshapen.Initially these were just thrown out until, company president Rebecca Webb Carranza, took some of the discarded tortillas, cut them up and fried them for a party. They were a huge hit at the party so she started selling them for a dime a bag, by the 1960's the bags of Tortilla Chips had become the primary seller for the El Zarpe factory.
