7. The reason I use white corn tortilla chips is because they are made out of masa

Masa is the traditional thickening ingredient for chili and it does work well. If I have it on hand, that's what I use but I usually won't buy a bag of masa just to thicken chili. I will buy it sometimes when I make homemade tortillas.
