well imo the only thing I regard as chips are the kind that come out of my deep fat fryer or the local chippy. Hence Dorrito's/Tortilla's are a kind of crips, end of story really.

Chips are 1]chunks of potato fried/baked and served with salt vinegar ketchup to personal taste or 2] corn often triangular shaped mexican snack served with salsa dips.

Crisps are thinly sliced potato 'slices' fried/baked with various flavourings such as cheese and onion or smoky bacon etc. etc.

They're made out of Corn, not potato, so I wouldn't call them crisps.

What does it say on the pack anyway?

Potato crisps. Corn chips.

Or, far more likely, I'll call them tortillas.
