Chips and guac is a popular snack rooted in Mexican cuisine, combining crispy tortilla chips with creamy guacamole. Guacamole is typically made from ripe avocados, mashed and mixed with lime juice, cilantro, onion, and sometimes diced tomatoes or jalapeños. Avocados, the star ingredient, are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and essential nutrients such as potassium and vitamin E. The lime juice and cilantro add freshness while packing antioxidants. However, the chips are often fried, making them higher in unhealthy fats, salt, and calories, which can overshadow guacamole's health benefits if consumed in excess. For a lighter variation, baked tortilla chips or veggie sticks can be substituted for traditional chips. Overall, Chips and guac is a delicious combination of indulgent crunch and nutrient-packed creaminess, balanced best when enjoyed mindfully.
