About Mexican chips
Mexican chips, often crafted from corn tortillas, are a staple snack rooted in traditional Mexican cuisine. These crunchy delights are typically made by slicing tortillas into triangles, frying or baking them until golden, and sprinkling with salt. Some varieties may be lightly seasoned with spices, lime, or chili powder for an added kick. Corn, the primary ingredient, is a rich source of fiber and complex carbohydrates, making these chips a satisfying snack option. However, depending on preparation, the frying process can contribute to higher calorie and fat content. Some brands or recipes may also include preservatives or excess sodium. Baked alternatives and minimally seasoned versions present healthier choices. Mexican chips pair wonderfully with guacamole, salsa, or beans, highlighting their versatility in both traditional and modern dishes. Keep an eye on portion sizes to ensure balanced nutrition.
