If by 'corn chips' you mean Frito's and its imitators those are made with a thick corn meal, and don't start out as tortillas. (But, yes, it's just another variation of basically the same ingredients. Like most Ameri-Mex food)
So, my contention about the old Toasted Corn Doritos is that they had a flavor distinct from say, Tostitos, which are also fried corn tortillas. They are similar, but not identical, and its those old school plain Doritos I crave when I eat guacamole.
I too remember when Nacho Cheese Doritos was a new twist on the standard chip.
