This tour of the fritos factory calls the dough masa, which implies they’re nixtamalized, not just cornmeal. https://youtu.be/xJDKrMgBhUg?t=824

Not exactly. Tortilla chips are dried before frying. Fritos are not.
Just cornmeal? I thought fritos would be masa. Corn meal doesn’t make a good dough. You can’t make tortillas from it. You have to nixtamalize it

Makes corn meal pliable.
