About Taco chips
Taco chips are crispy, triangular snacks often made from corn tortillas, oil, and a sprinkle of salt. Originating from Mexican cuisine, they are a staple in Tex-Mex dishes and are commonly served as an accompaniment to salsa, guacamole, or queso. The process involves slicing tortillas into wedges and frying or baking them until crisp. Taco chips are naturally gluten-free if made with corn and provide a moderate source of carbohydrates. Some brands fortify them with whole grains or additional fiber for a healthier option. However, their nutritional value can vary; while baked versions are typically lower in calories and fat, fried taco chips may be high in saturated fats and sodium. Consumed in moderation, they can be a satisfying treat, but pairing them with nutrient-rich toppings or dips is recommended to balance their indulgent nature.
