Corn tortilla chips are a popular snack that originated in Mexican cuisine and have become a staple worldwide. Made primarily from ground corn, water, and a touch of salt, they are typically baked or fried to achieve their signature crunch. These chips are gluten-free and a good source of carbohydrates, making them an accessible option for individuals with dietary restrictions. Some varieties may be cooked in oils high in unsaturated fats, offering a healthier fat profile. However, their sodium content can be significant, and fried versions may contain added calories and saturated fats. Corn tortilla chips can be enjoyed on their own or paired with nutrient-rich dips like guacamole or salsa. Whether used as a base for nachos or a crunchy companion to your favorite toppings, they remain a versatile and flavorful addition to many meals, provided they're consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
