About Chips and salsa

Chips and salsa are a popular snack originating from Mexican cuisine, celebrated for their vibrant flavors and simplicity. Typically, tortilla chips are made from corn, fried or baked until crispy, while salsa is a fresh, tangy mix of tomatoes, onions, peppers, cilantro, lime juice, and sometimes garlic or other spices. Salsa is a nutrient-rich condiment, boasting antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and low-calorie content, making it a heart-healthy choice. However, the healthfulness of chips can vary—baked versions tend to be lower in fat than fried options, though both may be high in sodium. Moderation is key, especially if paired with heavily salted or fried chips. This dynamic duo offers a satisfying blend of crunch and zest, perfect for mindful snacking or as an appetizer that brings a taste of Mexican tradition to the table.
