MADE WITH 100%
PURE BEEF TALLOW

For centuries, beef tallow was the gold standard — prized for its stability, flavor, and health benefits. Even McDonald’s used it for their fries before seed oils took over.

That switch came at a cost. Seed oils are cheap, highly processed, and break down into toxic byproducts when heated — fueling inflammation, weight gain, and chronic disease.

Tallow is different. It’s heat-stable, rich in fat-soluble vitamins, and full of clean, natural fats your body can actually use. That’s why we fry Vaca Chips in 100% pure beef tallow — the way it should be.

THIS IS HOW CHIPS WERE MEANT TO BE.

REAL INGREDIENTS

Our tortilla chips are crafted with care using simple, high-quality ingredients. From organic, non-GMO corn to thoughtfully sourced seasonings and high quality, locally sourced beef tallow, every batch is made to deliver authentic flavor, clean nutrition, and that perfect crunch you crave—all while supporting sustainable farming and responsible producers.

REAL NUTRITION

Our chips are crafted to be more than just a snack—they’re a source of simple, nutrient-rich energy. Made with wholesome ingredients and healthy fats, they provide lasting satisfaction and natural fuel your body can actually use. With every bite, you get the perfect balance of flavor, crunch, and clean nutrition to keep you going strong.

REAL FLAVOR

Tallow imparts a rich, buttery taste that elevates the chip beyond what any neutral-tasting seed oil can offer. It’s the kind of flavor that feels indulgent, but it’s real food.

REAL FUEL

Humans have cooked with animal fats like beef tallow for thousands of years- it’s a fuel our bodies know and trust. Unlike modern seed oils, tallow is easy to digest, deeply nourishing, and made to help us thrive.

Taking a stand against Big Chip.

Big chip has been cutting corners for decades - frying in cheap seed oils, hiding behind long ingredient lists, and trading your health for higher margins. We’re here to change that. Vaca Chips are cooked the old-school way, in pure beef tallow, with ingredients you can actually recognize. No gimmicks, no filler - just real flavor and honest crunch.
