no
bread is flour with yeast and water leavened via fermentation then baked.
chips are corn masa or wheat flour made into a dough with water with no yeast and not fermented then fried and salted.
why do people think that leaving out facts between things makes them the same thing ?

  HELL YEAH BROTHER, CRANK THAT GRANDMOTHER! AROOO
  
  I'm not legally obligated to answer that question.
- But tortillas are considered an unleavened bread, bread in the most general term is just flour and water.
That's like saying tea is just hot leaf water.
- Tea is soup.
  
  Tea is broth. You remove the solids.
  Matcha might count as soup, though.
  
  I'm not angry with you, but I am afraid that you've lost your way.
- we all cook our hot leaf water in the microwave like everyone else
If you like your toast to be made of corn and unleavened, sure.
- Corn makes bread, and there are flour tortillas.
  
  So is cheese flavoured popcorn a grilled cheese sandwich to you? The ingredients alone don't make a dish, the method of preparation matters as well.
- And fried instead of baked
Next time I'm at a restaurant I'm totally ordering Mexican beans on toast to get the tables reaction.

Isn't beans on toast just a taco?
- Tostada perhaps
- Not according to the cube rule
  
  Two gripes about on the cube rule; It doesn't readily differentiate between topology of a dish and a single serving. It could very well add more dimensions to the identification model besides topology, there are plenty of other factors that define the portability and experience of eating a food (let's face it, that's what the debate of identification was really about this whole time.)
