ABSTRACT:
A food processing device comprising a heating and storage unit for both soft tortillas and toasted tortilla chips. The unit includes a power driven conveyor belt system for continuous movement of soft tortillas through a heated zone and a storage and dispensing chamber above the conveyor belt system for toasted tortilla chips. In one form of the invention, the conveyor belt system comprises upper and lower horizontal belts having an upper portion of the lower belt which runs essentially in contact with a lower portion of the upper belt through the heated zone for lightly pressing and moving soft tortillas continuously through the heated zone. Both forms of the unit include structure for directing the heated gases employed with the soft tortillas into the storage and dispensing portion of the unit for heating and keeping warm the toasted tortilla chips.
