Round tortilla chips are a popular snack made primarily from corn, vegetable oil, and salt. They originate from Mexican cuisine and are traditionally crafted by frying or baking thinly sliced tortillas until crispy. These chips are known for their satisfying crunch and versatile flavor, often served alongside salsa, guacamole, or as a base for nachos. Corn, the main ingredient, provides fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium and potassium. However, due to added oils and salt during preparation, many tortilla chips can be high in fat, sodium, and calories, making portion control important. Opting for baked versions or chips made from whole-grain or organic corn can offer healthier alternatives. Enjoy them as part of balanced meals or snacks, and pair them with nutrient-rich dips or spreads to enhance their health profile.
