Round tortilla chips are crispy, bite-sized snacks made from corn tortillas that are cut into rounds and baked or fried. Rooted in Mexican cuisine, these chips are a staple in dishes like nachos or as a companion to guacamole, salsa, or queso. Made primarily from ground yellow or white corn, water, and a trace of lime, they’re typically seasoned with salt for a flavorful crunch. Tortilla chips are naturally gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities. However, their health aspects vary depending on preparation and consumption. When baked, they offer less fat compared to fried options, but frying increases calorie and fat content. Moderation is key since they are often paired with high-calorie dips. Tortilla chips are a source of quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, but they can be high in sodium, so checking labels is advised for a healthier choice.
