Tortilla chips are a popular snack rooted in Mexican cuisine, made from corn tortillas cut into triangles and fried or baked until crispy. Traditionally crafted from corn, water, and lime, they are naturally gluten-free and provide a satisfying crunch. Often lightly salted, tortilla chips can be enjoyed alone or paired with dips like salsa, guacamole, or queso for enhanced flavor. Nutritionally, they are a source of carbohydrates that provide quick energy, but they can be calorie-dense depending on preparation, especially when fried. Some versions may have added oils, salt, or seasonings that should be consumed in moderation. Baked tortilla chips are a healthier alternative as they are lower in fat. Rich in whole grain corn, they also offer dietary fiber, making them a better choice compared to some other snack foods. Always check labels for nutrient content and consume responsibly as part of a balanced diet.
