About Mexican restaurant chips
Mexican restaurant chips are a popular appetizer and snack originating from traditional Mexican cuisine. Made from corn tortillas, these chips are typically cut into triangles, fried until golden and crispy, and lightly salted. Corn, the primary ingredient, is naturally gluten-free and a good source of fiber, but the nutritional profile of the chips can vary depending on preparation methods. When fried, they become higher in calories and fat, making them a less healthy option if consumed in large quantities. However, they pair excellently with nutrient-rich accompaniments like fresh salsa, guacamole, or bean dips, adding vitamins, healthy fats, and protein to the mix. For a lighter option, some restaurants offer baked versions. While Mexican restaurant chips are a delicious staple in Mexican-American dining, they’re best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced meal.
