Flour tortilla chips are crispy, golden snacks made from thinly sliced and fried or baked flour tortillas. Originating from Mexican cuisine, these chips offer a twist on traditional corn-based tortilla chips. Typically crafted from enriched wheat flour, water, vegetable oil, and salt, they boast a lighter texture and mellow flavor compared to their corn counterparts. While they provide carbohydrates and energy, their nutrition profile depends on preparation methods. Baked versions are lower in fat and calories, making them a healthier option. However, fried versions are higher in oil and saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. These chips pair well with salsa, guacamole, or hummus, offering a versatile option for snacks and appetizers. Keep an eye on sodium levels, and choose whole wheat varieties if available for added fiber and nutrients. Enjoy flour tortilla chips as an occasional treat within a balanced diet.
