I learned about them and made some in the early 1970s. I later learned that a Mexican-American restaurant owner in Texas created chips he called fritos and it inspired the Frito company to produce them commercially starting in the 1930's. The earliest ones and also the ones I made today were with an egg, salt, a cup of water and enough Masa to make a soft dough. I put it in a pastry bag with a ribbon tip and pipe it into hot oil. If I ever decide to try it again, I think I'll add some seasoning like taco seasoning or chili pepper. It is a lot easier to just tear open a bag and start munching.😋
