Corn tortilla chips are a popular snack made from whole corn kernels, typically ground into masa and formed into small triangular shapes before being baked or fried. Originating from Mexican cuisine, they are a staple in dishes like nachos and a common accompaniment to salsa, guacamole, and other dips. Rich in dietary fiber and naturally gluten-free, corn tortilla chips can sometimes be a healthier alternative to potato chips, depending on preparation. They provide energy through carbohydrates and contain essential nutrients like magnesium and potassium. However, their healthiness depends on factors such as added oils, salt, and flavoring, which can increase fat and sodium levels. Opting for baked versions or minimally processed chips can reduce calories and unhealthy additives. For balanced consumption, enjoy corn tortilla chips in moderation as part of a diverse and nutrient-rich diet.
