Fried tortilla strips are a crispy, flavorful snack or topping made by slicing corn or flour tortillas into thin strips and frying them until golden brown. These strips are a staple in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, often used to garnish soups like tortilla soup, enhance salads, or serve as a crunchy accompaniment to dips. Typically seasoned with salt, they may also feature additional spices for extra flavor. While fried tortilla strips are beloved for their satisfying crunch and savory taste, they are calorie-dense due to the frying process, which adds fat content. When enjoyed in moderation, corn tortilla strips can provide some dietary fiber, though flour-based versions may lack the same nutrient profile. For a healthier alternative, baking tortilla strips instead of frying can lower their fat content while retaining their signature crunch.
